Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barlestone

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my maisonette in Barlestone and the estate agent has just e-mailed to warn that the purchasers are swapping law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only engage with property lawyers on their approved list. On what basis would a major mortgage company only work with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Barlestone ?

Lenders have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, 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 over 25 years.

Lenders point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some 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 buyers are not going to have any impact on this.

I am soon to complete buying a property in Barlestone but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however UBS are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?

The conveyancer that is on the UBS conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to UBS of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Barlestone.

My lawyers in Barlestone have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
