I am progressing with the sale of my apartment in Matlock and the estate agent has just e-mailed to warn that the purchasers are switching property lawyer. The excuse is that the lender will only engage with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a major lender only engage with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Matlock ?
Lenders have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in the past few years big names such as HSBC, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for more than 15 years.
Lending institutions blame a rise in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. No lender will say 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. Plenty of firms 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. Your buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

My wife and I are selling our home in Matlock and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Matlock. We have lived in Matlock for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
