Directory figures are counted from the LenderPanel listings that carry Kensington Mortgages instructions, and search demand is counted from postcode searches recorded there. Both describe the directory rather than Kensington Mortgages’s own approved panel, which is larger.

How Kensington Mortgages panel results are put in order

Across every lender searched on the directory in the last ninety days, Kensington Mortgages sits at number 14 of 138. Rank is a measure of how often people look for a lender, not of how well its panel firms perform, and the two are worth keeping apart.

  1. Narrowing to the panel

    Everything starts from the lender. Firms that do not work with Kensington Mortgages instructions are removed before anything else is considered, which is why this returns a shorter list than a search for local solicitors would.

  2. Ordering by proximity

    What remains is sorted by how far each office is from the postcode entered. Proximity decides the order and nothing else does: no firm pays for a higher position, and the ranking carries no judgement about quality.

  3. Leaving firms out

    A firm that has paused new instructions is withheld rather than shown as unavailable, because a listing somebody cannot act on wastes a telephone call. Regulatory details are printed against each firm so they can be checked independently.

Figures come from searches recorded on the LenderPanel directory since June 2026, last read in August 2026. They count searches rather than transactions, and a search is a person looking rather than a mortgage completing. Regional shares are calculated over the searches whose postcode area could be placed in a region, which is not quite all of them.

Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel questions, answered

A few things worth knowing about the Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel before you choose a firm, put as the questions people actually ask.

You can instruct whoever you like to act for you. What changes is that a firm not working with Kensington Mortgages instructions cannot also act for the lender, so Kensington Mortgages would normally instruct its own solicitor separately and the borrower is usually asked to cover both sets of costs.

Money the firm pays to somebody else on your behalf: Land Registry fees, local authority searches, bankruptcy and priority searches, and the cost of transferring funds. They are set by third parties rather than by the firm, so they are not the part of a quote worth shopping around on.

Usually not. Consent to let is generally arranged with Kensington Mortgages directly and needs no external legal work, so no legal fees arise, although the lender may apply an administration charge and set conditions of its own.

Not usually. Conveyancing is largely done by post, telephone and online portal, so a firm working with Kensington Mortgages instructions can act on a property some distance away. Results are ordered by distance because proximity is convenient for handing over documents, not because it is a requirement.

Kensington Mortgages would normally instruct a separate firm to act for it, and the transaction continues with two firms involved rather than one. Ask your solicitor to tell you promptly if their status changes, because the cost consequence usually falls on the borrower.

Should I instruct a local practice or a national firm on the Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel?

The difference between the two kinds of firm on the Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel shows up under pressure rather than on a quiet week. It is worth choosing for the bad fortnight rather than the good one.

Regional high-street practice

A person, at a desk, nearby

  • Documents can be handed over in person: identification, proof of deposit, signed deeds.
  • Local knowledge of search turnaround at that authority and of the title quirks common in the area.
  • Existing relationships with local agents, which can smooth communication along a chain.

Trade-off: usually reachable in standard business hours only.

National conveyancing firm

A system, available late

  • “No move, no legal fee” arrangements are more commonly offered, which caps the loss if a chain collapses.
  • Case-tracking portals for uploading documents and following progress without telephoning.
  • Contact hours that extend into evenings and weekends.

Trade-off: routine enquiries are often handled by a pooled team rather than one named person.

Non-standard cases on the Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel

An ordinary purchase or remortgage is covered by the panel rules described elsewhere on this page. What follows is about the non-routine: alterations to the title itself. The examples below are illustrative rather than a complete list.

  1. Adding or removing a name

    Putting a partner on the title, or taking a former one off, is a transfer of equity. It rewrites the register and it changes who Kensington Mortgages can pursue, so the lender's approval comes first and the paperwork second.

  2. Moving a boundary or releasing land

    Selling a strip of garden, or granting a right of way across mortgaged land, reduces what the lender holds security over. The lender has to agree to release that part before anything can be drafted.

Mortgage changes fall into two rough categories: the ones Kensington Mortgages handles at its own desk, and the ones that need a conveyancer because something on the register moves. Knowing which you are facing avoids paying for the wrong thing.
