On what basis would a leading lender only engage with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Kendal ?

Banks have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Santander, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for more than 15 years.

Lending institutions justify this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the cull – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. 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 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 buyers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays.

This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the lender will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

The conveyancer listed on the mortgage company approved list is required to advise the lender of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
