I am in the process of selling my house in Mulbarton and the estate agent has just text me to say that the purchasers are swapping law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the lender will only deal with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a major lender only work with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Mulbarton ?
UK lenders have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Nationwide, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been tightened 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 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. Your buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.
