Me and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a house and had an appointment on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked the Post Office to supply me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?

You can enquire of the Post Office what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancer in Winterton on the approved list for the Post Office.
