I am nearing exchange of contracts for my house in Acklam and the EA has just e-mailed to advise that the purchasers are swapping solicitor. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a big named mortgage company only deal with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Acklam ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for more than 15 years.
Mortgage companies blame a rise in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.
