Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Dunmow. Please explain the reason why all Dunmow conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s point of view, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and feel it imperative to shield themselves against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
Please help. My Dunmow conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Dunmow conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Dunmow conveyancing searches.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Dunmow for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Halifax won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Dunmow conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels.

Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Dunmow conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Dunmow is one of the many locations where the solicitors we list are are approved Halifax.
