I am in the process of selling my home in Ince in Makerfield and the estate agent has just text me to warn that the buyers are changing their conveyancer. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only engage with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a big named mortgage company only engage with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield ?
Lenders have always had panels of law firms they are content to work with, but in recent years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.
Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to oversee. 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 are unaware that 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.

We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Ince in Makerfield on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Ince in Makerfield lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
