Mortgage advisor + Solicitor liasing?

Does your mortgage advisor need to know who your solicitor is? And if so, when do they need to know?

They need to know in order that your lender can send their solicitors' instructions to them when they issue your offer. So, at least whenever your mortgage application is submitted. Though also worth a check that your solicitor is on the panel of (i.e. approved by) your chosen lender.

Solicitor details are needed before an application can be submitted.

Your mortgage application will ask who your solicitor is. Without it, we can not press submit on the application. 

It is rare that we would liaise with the solicitors though. I sometimes certify documents and send it on to the solicitor, but that is pretty much the only interaction I have with solicitors. If the customer uses "our" solicitors and they are going slow then I would pick up the phone or drop them an email to give them a nudge. But its not like we are discussing anything with them.
