I have read on various online forums that when selecting a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your mortgage company. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP via Halifax and I already have a local conveyancing solicitor in Sedgefield at the ready. Can Halifax insist on an approved solicitor to be instructed? Does a directory of approved conveyancers even exist for my conveyancing in Sedgefield?

You need to choose a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Just telephone your preferred Sedgefield conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not approved you have a number of options open to you here:

• Complete the purchase with your chosen Sedgefield property lawyer but Halifax will no doubt instruct a lawyer from their approved list. This will result in additional charges and likely interruption.
• Appoint a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
• Convince your conveyancing practitioner to do everything possible to join the Halifax panel of solicitors.
