This is as unusual as it is unlucky. The majority of lender Terms of Conveyancing Panel Appointment specifically oblige the solicitor to inform the lender of an address change. Your solicitor needs to treat this with the utmost urgency. Do speak with or register your concern with the senior partner (assuming he or she is not your direct lawyer). Most lenders would be reasonable in this situation and expedite the resolution of this issue. It may be prudent to enlist the help of your local Danske Bank branch or your mortgage broker to see if they can help.
Do most lenders operate their own panel of solicitors?
Many lenders do operate a restricted conveyancing panel but a lot of lenders allow any solicitors to join their panel so long as they meet their criteria. Each lender sets their own criteria. For example the Danske Bank conveyancing panel requirements are different to Danske Bank’s conveyancing panel criteria.
We have agreed a price on a apartment I spoke to a conveyancer recommended by my uncle and he advised retaining a property lawyers approved by Danske Bank. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked Danske Bank if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not.
