My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Barrow upon Humber. At the time of instructing our solicitor, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. The financial adviser contacted us just now to advise that they are not on the Clydesdale approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we pay for separate representation, with Clydesdale appointing their own approved property lawyer.
When buying a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancing practitioner has to satisfy. Some banks now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Clydesdale to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Clydesdale's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Barrow upon Humber solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
