My financial adviser has requested my Billericay solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have e-mailed my local Billericay branch but they have not got back to me yet.

is it true that all Billericay solicitor firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the CLC.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Billericay off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a flat in Billericay. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Billericay conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
