My lawyer in Whitnash is not on the TSB Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the TSB approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Whitnash solicitors but TSB will need to use a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges as well as cause frustration.
- Choose an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the TSB panel

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a required element of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Whitnash conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local assessors
I had an offer accepted on a property in Whitnash on 24/10/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
