I am selling my maisonette in Brownhills and the EA has just e-mailed to advise that the buyers are appointing a new property lawyer. The excuse is that the lender will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a major lender only work with certain solicitors rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Brownhills ?
Lenders 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 Santander, have considered 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 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. Your buyers are not going to have any impact on this.

I completed on my home on 3 July and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Brownhills expressed confidence that it would be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Brownhills uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Brownhills registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm buying my first flat in Brownhills with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
