I am in the process of selling my apartment in Mosborough and the estate agent has just called to advise that the buyers are changing their property lawyer. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. Why would a leading lender only work with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Mosborough ?
Lenders have always had an approved set 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 worked with them for more than 15 years.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms 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. The purchasers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

I am purchasing a new build house in Mosborough benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with Clydesdale. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
