My husband and I have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to find you a property lawyer in Pickering on the panel for HSBC.
