I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in West Ewell?

You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near West Ewell.

Myself and my husband have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Monday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?

You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to utilise our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in West Ewell on the panel for Nationwide.
