I plan on buying property in Abbey Wood. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Abbey Wood conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?

You must use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you require a loan to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can select a Abbey Wood property lawyer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not on the lender solicitor panel further fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
