Failing to check that a lawyer is on the HSBC list of approved solicitors can put your transaction at risk of delay or failure. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of HSBC had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
Do all the licensed conveyancers and solicitor practices listed on your directory have online case tracking as I was under the impression that this was a precondition of being on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Some law firms operate such technology and some don't.
I am in the process of mortgaging my property does my lawyer have to be on the HSBC Conveyancing panel? There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor but HSBC will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers CLC.

ENDS Notes to editors Stephensons undertakes all areas of residential conveyancing including sales, purchases and re-mortgages. Stephensons is a North West regional law firm with a national reputation and reach. Customers who are selling as well as buying can get a separate quote for that work to be done by the same lawyer. Eddie Goldsmith, chairman of the Conveyancing Association , said he believed the cost would persuade most customers to use the panel, and that he expected more lenders to follow HSBC's lead.
But he added that in the short term there would be "inconvenience and extra expense" for customers who wanted to use the solicitor of their choice. This article is more than 9 years old. Customers can no longer use legal representation of their own choice when getting a mortgage through HSBC. We are very pleased that HSBC has listened to feedback from customers and our member law firms and has adopted an open panel approach for purchase cases across all jurisdictions, while ensuring that it is in line with FCA guidance.
The basic requirement for a law firm in Scotland to become or remain a member of the panel is that the firm is regulated by the Law Society of Scotland. Firms will be asked to provide additional information in order to be confirmed as panel members. LMS will provide further detail of the on-boarding process directly to firms.
