Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beddington South

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my flat in Beddington South and the estate agent has just telephoned to warn that the buyers are switching conveyancer. The excuse is that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a leading mortgage company only engage with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Beddington South ?

UK lenders have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in the last few years big names such as HSBC, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.

Banks point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say 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.

The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
