Common Questions

What if my lender isn't listed?

Even if your specific lender isn't listed, most have reciprocal arrangements or accept solicitors on major panels. Contact us with your lender's details, and we'll confirm our ability to act for them in your transaction.

Can you handle both sides of my transaction?

Yes, as panel-approved solicitors, we can often represent both you and your mortgage lender, eliminating the need for separate legal representation and reducing overall costs and complexity.

How does panel membership speed up my purchase?

Panel membership eliminates additional lender vetting, provides direct access to lender portals, and establishes pre-approved communication channels that significantly reduce processing times for mortgage transactions.

Next Steps

Our extensive panel memberships enable us to work with most major UK mortgage lenders, streamlining your property transaction for faster completion. From first-time buyers to property investors, we provide panel-approved conveyancing that meets the highest industry standards.
