Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Covent Garden. Please spell out why all Covent Garden lawyers are not on all bank panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s perspective, the flip side is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel it essential to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
