Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Warrington. What is the rationale as to why all Warrington property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies pruning less reputable firms from their panel of approved property lawyers .
Can your site be used to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Warrington even if I’m not purchasing or disposing of a house, for instance where I wish to buy a shop in Warrington with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd?

Do I need to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Warrington so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
Whereas this was necessary twenty years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to hand over identification documents and there are still manifest benefits to instructing a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Warrington.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Warrington. Do we need to appoint a high street Warrington solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
TSB don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB panel.
I am expecting a AIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Warrington solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Warrington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with Co-operative for my property in Warrington. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel firm.
