I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Ash for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Banks tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have limited the amount of firms they allow to act for them. You should note that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Ash only conduct very few conveyances per annum.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Ash
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Ash conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
