My property lawyer has never been on on the Mansfield Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my preferred solicitor even though they are not on the Mansfield Building Society approved list?
The most common options here are as follows:
  1. Complete the purchase with your preferred lawyers but Mansfield Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on the Mansfield Building Society conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost and potential delay.
  2. Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Mansfield Building Society conveyancing panel.
  3. Convince your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Mansfield Building Society conveyancing panel
My conveyancer has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in Mansfield Building Society’s home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that as he is on the Mansfield Building Society conveyancing panel he must ensure that the lender is with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
A precondition to being on the Mansfield Building Society approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on Mansfield Building Society) which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Do the majority of lenders operate their own panel of solicitors?
Many lenders do operate a restricted conveyancing panel but a lot of lenders allow any solicitors to join their panel so long as they meet their criteria. Each lender sets their own criteria.
