You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications .

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton 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 currently.

My husband and I have just had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have asked Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?

Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Carlton on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
