I need to swap lawyers as my lawyer is not on the Rooftop Mortgages panel of conveyancing solicitors. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer you're considering.

I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay matters. is my lawyer taking the correct approach?
You should not exchange unless you have advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on the Rooftop Mortgages approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on Rooftop Mortgages). The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

My conveyancers in Birmingham have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with Rooftop Mortgages. Is it case that being on the Rooftop Mortgages conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?

You will need to appoint solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Rooftop Mortgages conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and the Rooftop Mortgages through the process.
Can I register a complaint to Rooftop Mortgages about the lawyers being on the Rooftop Mortgages conveyancing panel?
There is little point in complaining directly to Rooftop Mortgages. Every solicitor firm and conveyancer must have a complaints procedure. Usually one can find this information from the solicitor’s or conveyancer’s website or ask at their office. They must tell you about it if you ask.

The Legal Ombudsman will make sure that your complaint is addressed by the solicitor. It can also advise you how to complain.

If a licensed conveyancer does not have a complaints procedure or will not tell you about it, contact the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), which will make sure that your complaint is properly dealt with by the conveyancer. Please see below for more information.

Planning on purchasing a house with a mortgage with Rooftop Mortgages. I have received an online quote from a licensed conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Rooftop Mortgages conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that they are on the Rooftop Mortgages conveyancing panel
