FAQs for the Earl Shilton Building Society Conveyancing Panel from members of the public

My fiance and I are novices when it comes to buying a property. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Earl Shilton Building Society have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser's solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender.

In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitors should contact Earl Shilton Building Society and see if they can apply for membership of the Earl Shilton Building Society conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable Earl Shilton Building Society will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the Earl Shilton Building Society conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
