I am six weeks into the sale of my flat in Holmrook and the EA has just telephoned to say that the purchasers are changing their law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only work with solicitors on their approved list. On what basis would a big named lender only work with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Holmrook ?
Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Nationwide, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for more than 15 years.
Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the cull – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose 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. 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 purchasers are not going to have any impact on this.
