Common questions asked concerning the Danske Bank Solicitor Panel
My Solicitor is not listed on the Danske Bank Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my preferred solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Danske Bank list of approved lawyers?
The most common options here are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred solicitors but Danske Bank will need to instruct a lawyer on the Danske Bank conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost and potential delay.
- Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Danske Bank conveyancing panel.
- Urge your lawyer to apply to join the Danske Bank lender panel
My son is about to exchange on a newly built flat with a mortgage from Danske Bank. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Danske Bank conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked.
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 Danske Bank conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the Danske Bank conveyancing panel solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Bristol
so that I can attend their offices if required.
Most conveyancing panel lawyers for Danske Bank undertake all of the work via the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake your Conveyancing Transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you should check if you can still book an appointment to go into appointed conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
My conveyancers in London have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with Danske Bank. Is it case that being on the Danske Bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the Danske Bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting Danske Bank directly.
Hi, thinking about buying a house off my mate. Once we agree a price, what’s the best way to proceed? I plan to obtain a mortgage with Danske Bank.

The mortgage over my property is with Danske Bank. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Danske Bank?
Your original mortgage agreement with Danske Bank will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Danske Bank’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Danske Bank will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Danske Bank directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Danske Bank conveyancing panel lawyer.
Planning on purchasing a house with a mortgage with Danske Bank. I have received an online quote from a licensed 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 Danske Bank 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 they are on the Danske Bank conveyancing panel
