Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach

I am selling my flat in Ystrad Mynach and the estate agent has just e-mailed to warn that the purchasers are swapping conveyancer. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a big named lender only deal with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach ?

Lenders have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for more than 15 years.

Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. Banks tend not to reveal 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 purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Ystrad Mynach conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
