Examples of recent questions relating to the Landbay Partners Solicitor Panel from members of the public

My wife and I are first time buyers. Within the 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to sign with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Landbay Partners have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?
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 Landbay Partners and see if they can apply for membership of the Landbay Partners conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable Landbay Partners will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the Landbay Partners conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
