I can't travel far from Newport Pagnell. Is there a reason why all Newport Pagnell conveyancers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a organisation needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to restrict the number of conveyancers they allow to represent them.

Data published by the Land Registry indicates that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms should have the right to be on a bank panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?
My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Newport Pagnell but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
The conveyancer that is on the Leeds Building Society approved list is obliged to disclose to Leeds Building Society of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the reduction to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Newport Pagnell.
