Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood

I am progressing with the sale of my ground floor flat in Chelmsley Wood and the EA has just e-mailed to say that the buyers are swapping property lawyer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. On what basis would a big named lender only work with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood ?

Mortgage companies have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in recent years big names such as Santander, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for more than 15 years.

Lenders point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. 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. Some are unaware that 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.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Chelmsley Wood. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
