I am five weeks into the sale of my ground floor flat in Waddon and the EA has just text me to say that the buyers are switching conveyancer. The excuse is that the lender will only deal with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a major lender only engage with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Waddon ?
Mortgage companies have always had an approved set 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 worked with them for more than 15 years.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. 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. The purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.
