Q and A’s regarding the MPowered Mortgages Solicitor Panel
My financial adviser has informed me that I have to pay MPowered Mortgages fees should I instruct my family lawyer. How good are the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel solicitors? I dont care which law firm I use as long as they're good and reasonably priced. Would you recommend a specific law firm on the MPowered Mortgages panel?

We are nearing an exchange and my parents having transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender MPowered Mortgages. I am advised that, being on the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel and acting on their behalf he must inform MPowered Mortgages if the balance of the mortgage advance is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parent’s contribution when I applied for the home loan so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with MPowered Mortgages to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to MPowered Mortgages if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am selling my house. Does my solicitor have to be on the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. it might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
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. For example the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel requirements are different to MPowered Mortgages’s conveyancing panel requirements.
We have had an offer accepted on a house I spoke to a lawyer recommended by my uncle and he advised retaining a law firm approved by MPowered Mortgages. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked MPowered Mortgages if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not. MPowered Mortgages pointed out that either practice can fill out the appropriate forms to become approved. Do I (1) save myself the aggravation and use one of MPowered Mortgages 's conveyancing panel solicitors (2) Use the local solicitor and accept there may be delays etc as they go through the approval process.
