I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Cleobury Mortimer with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds 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 transaction.

Myself and my wife have recently had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will be subject to an a further charge of £200. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have requested Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Cleobury Mortimer on the approved list for Nationwide.
