I have read on a number of consumer advice websites that before choosing a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your lender. It happens to be my first home move but I have an AIP from Nat West Bank and I already have a bricks and morter conveyancing solicitor in Whiteley at the ready. Will HSBC require an approved solicitor to be instructed? Does a directory of approved solicitors even exist so I can choose a conveyancing lawyer in Whiteley?

You need to choose a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. Just telephone your preferred Whiteley conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not approved you have numerous choices available to you here:

  • Proceed with your chosen Whiteley property lawyer but HSBC will undoubtedly use a lawyer on their approved panel. The net impact is additional charges and likely interruption.
  • Appoint a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to get listed on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
