I am selling my home in Brunswick Park and the EA has just text me to say that the purchasers are appointing a new conveyancer. The excuse is that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a leading lender only engage with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Brunswick Park ?
Lenders have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for over 25 years.
Lenders point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed 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 hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some 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. The buyers are not going to have any impact on this.

My cousin has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Brunswick Park. Should I choose my own conveyancer?
There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm that you are considering.
We have had DIP from Aldermore who said we could borrow up to £400k. At what point do I need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Brunswick Park is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to appoint a lawyer now so that the conveyancing practitioner can open the file so they can conduct the AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit normally approximately £225. That would generally be after you have the mortgage offer and valuation report, however should you want to speed the process you can start quicker even though you may be risking some money.
