Examples of recent questions relating to the Fleet Mortgages Solicitor Panel
My lawyer is not on the Fleet Mortgages Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my preferred solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Fleet Mortgages panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The most common options here are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing solicitors but Fleet Mortgages will need to instruct a lawyer on the Fleet Mortgages 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 Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel.
- Urge your lawyer to apply to join the Fleet Mortgages lender panel
We are due to exchange on the purchase a house but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k approx by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company Fleet Mortgages will not agree to this. Why was Fleet Mortgages even consulted?
Your lawyer being on the Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Fleet Mortgages of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyers to disclose the reduction to Fleet Mortgages then they would have to discontinue acting for you and Fleet Mortgages.
I note that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for my house purchase?

I am refinancing my apartment does my lawyer need to be on the Fleet Mortgages Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel, but Fleet Mortgages would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Fleet Mortgages as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our home. Do we need to appoint a solicitor on the Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Fleet Mortgages would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they did require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Fleet Mortgages panel
We were going to get a DIP from Fleet Mortgages this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).Do the Fleet Mortgages recommend a solicitor on the Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently
You will need to appoint solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and the Fleet Mortgages through the process.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in month 8 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Fleet Mortgages are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the Fleet Mortgages conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Fleet Mortgages are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Fleet Mortgages have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Fleet Mortgages have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Fleet Mortgages may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
