Compare up to 5 conveyancing solicitors
Our conveyancing solicitors will contact you
Your mortgage lender (in this case Nationwide) will have an approved list of solicitor firms that they encourage you to use for your conveyancing. This is because those solicitors fit the criteria that Nationwide sets, and they are all firms they trust. This is to try to reduce the chance of any complications with your purchase or remortgage.
If you decide to use a conveyancing solicitor that isn’t on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, then you may need to pay for their legal representation as well, which would result in spending hundreds of pounds more than you budgeted for.
By using a solicitor that is on their panel, you won’t need to pay for separate legal representation for both yourself and your mortgage lender.
The easiest way to check whether your chosen solicitor is on the Nationwide approved conveyancing panel is to submit the solicitor to the bank or ask your mortgage advisor. You can also check the Nationwide website to see if they have an updated list of their approved panel.
The easiest way to find a trusted, experienced conveyancing solicitor or licensed conveyancer is to get a quote using reallymoving’s quick quote form. You’ll be sent quotes from up to 5 conveyancing firms in your area. Of these, you can check directly who is registered with the Nationwide lending panel, or ask your mortgage provider.

"Paul was very efficient, helpful and as accommodating as he could be."

Reallymoving is a comparison site that allows you to find conveyancing solicitors for your house move or remortgage. We are not affiliated with Nationwide and are not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel ourselves. We cannot guarantee that every solicitor quoted by us will be on the Nationwide panel, so be sure to ask when contacting your chosen solicitor.
For solicitors wishing to join the Nationwide panel, you must go to the bank directly.
According to reallymoving data, the average cost of conveyancing services is around £2,038 including fees and disbursements.
When comparing solicitors or conveyancers to choose the one that’s right for you, consider factors such as their legal accreditations, client reviews, and experience within your local property market, as well as their fees.
It is possible to negotiate on conveyancing fees if you have a sound understanding of your case and of property law. However, the best way to secure a good deal on fees is to compare prices when initially seeking a solicitor.
The cost of your mortgage will depend on what you’re offered. The initial deposit will usually be between 5-20% of the house price. So a deposit on a £400K house will be £20,000-80,000.
No, not all solicitors will charge the same so it’s important to compare a firm’s fees. Remember, you can choose a conveyancing solicitor from anywhere; they don't have to be local.
It’s difficult to lower your fees once you have already chosen a solicitor, so to reduce what you pay, compare conveyancing firms to find the best price. Remember to also ask about referral fees.
