Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whissendine

My wife and I are looking to acquire a house in Whissendine and are in fact using a Whissendine conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Halifax have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Whissendine lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Whissendine lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
