I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Wroxham for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our bank Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Banks on the whole restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing firms on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the number of solicitor practices they allow to represent them. Be aware that Accord Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Accord Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Wroxham only perform very few conveyances per annum.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Wroxham 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
