Find an approved Solicitor on the Banks and Clients Conveyancing Panel. Enter your postcode to see every regulated firm covering your area.
To use a Banks and Clients mortgage, your conveyancer must be approved on the Banks and Clients conveyancing panel — Banks and Clients only releases mortgage funds to a firm on its panel. Enter your postcode above to see every regulated firm covering England & Wales, ordered by distance.
Every firm is regulated by the SRA or CLC, and the directory is free — no broker fees and no sign-up. If your current solicitor is not on the Banks and Clients panel, you can ask them to apply, or instruct a panel firm to avoid paying for a separate lender-appointed conveyancer, which usually adds cost and delay.
Panel data reviewed June 2026 · regulated firms only
All firms listed are independent, regulated practices. LenderPanel is a free directory rather than a broker, and never charges you to find or contact a firm on the Banks and Clients panel.
Using a firm on the Banks and Clients panel avoids Banks and Clients having to instruct a separate solicitor to protect its interest — a 'separate representation' arrangement that normally means an extra set of fees and a slower completion.
Lenders keep a conveyancing panel so the firm handling your conveyancing also protects the lender's security in the property. Banks and Clients only releases mortgage funds to a firm on its panel, so instructing a panel firm keeps your purchase or remortgage moving.

Everything buyers, sellers and remortgagers ask about the Banks and Clients panel.
Lenders blame a rise in fraud as the reason for the cull – criteria have been tightened and a smaller panel should be easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels, or have other concerns about them. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyer's case. Your purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.
In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitors should contact Banks and Clients and see if they can apply for membership of the Banks and Clients conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable Banks and Clients will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the Banks and Clients conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
The Developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it.
The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Banks and Clients conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
The Legal Ombudsman will make sure that your complaint is properly dealt with by the solicitor. It can also advise you how to complain.
If a licensed conveyancer does not have a complaints procedure or will not tell you about it, contact the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), which will make sure that your complaint is properly dealt with by the conveyancer. Please see below for more information.
