NatWest Solicitor Panel List

If you are considering purchasing a property with a NatWest mortgage, you need to choose a solicitor on the NatWest solicitor panel list. This is a list of conveyancing solicitors authorised by the bank to represent both them and you in the transaction.

Should your conveyancer not be on the NatWest solicitor panel list, your purchase could be delayed. You might have to switch to a different law firm partway through the conveyancing process, or alternatively pay for NatWest to use their own legal team.

Why choose Lockings Solicitors for your property purchase?

We move you promptly

We know that you will want to avoid delays, and we work proactively to try to reach the exchange of contracts without any delays. We chase other parties for information on a regular basis and provide prompt responses to questions we receive. We stay in close contact with the estate agent, the seller’s solicitor, and, where applicable, your buyer’s solicitor, to ensure no one is sitting on information or failing to progress matters.

Our conveyancers are highly experienced

Our solicitors have many years of experience and routinely deal with complex and high-value transactions. Should problems arise, we have the expertise to deal with them, finding solutions that will prevent a transaction from falling through.

We are on the NatWest solicitor panel list

As solicitors approved by NatWest’s solicitor panel, we are authorised to represent them in your purchase transaction. This means we can work directly with them to report on the property and request funds when it is time to complete. We know exactly what information they will require from us, and we will be able to let them have the certificate they need, confirming that the property has a sound legal title and that all other due diligence work has been completed.

We provide clear, jargon-free advice

We know that property law is not always straightforward, and if your purchase involves issues that need to be explained, we will do so clearly and in plain English. We always take the time to answer questions, and we will ensure that you have a good understanding of the matter so that you can make an informed decision and weigh up the implications as necessary.

We keep in close contact with you throughout

We offer a free initial chat with no obligation to you

If you have any questions or you would like a conveyancing quote, please ring and we will be happy to help. There is no obligation to you in doing this, and it will give you the opportunity to discuss your purchase and how to start the conveyancing process.

Tying in a related sale

If you also have a property that you are selling, we will tie this in with your purchase. It can be beneficial to start work early on a sale, as there are lengthy forms that you will need to fill in. The main one is a property information form. You may need to find certain paperwork to go with this form, for example, building regulations approval for alterations or guarantees for a new boiler or windows.

How long does a house purchase take?

The time taken to complete conveyancing can vary quite widely. If there is a long chain of linked transactions and one party in the chain experiences a delay, the whole chain will be held up. This means that longer chains can take longer to complete.

Issues that can cause hold-ups include:

• Delay in receiving search results or survey results
• Not instructing a solicitor promptly at the start of the process
• Legal issues in the title
• Missing documents, for example, planning permission for extensions
• Problems revealed by the survey that require quotes from builders and a renegotiation of the price
• Discovering a conveyancer is not able to represent the lender so that alternative arrangements need to be made
• A delay in the issuing of a mortgage offer
