My Solicitor is not listed on the Landbay Partners Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor even though they are not on the Landbay Partners list of approved lawyers?
You will need to have a conveyancer complete the legal work required when you take out a Landbay Partners mortgage to buy your property. They’ll carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You can instruct a conveyancing firm of your choice. However, if the firm selected is not a member of the Landbay Partners conveyancing panel additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by Landbay Partners. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they can do so.
