Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crickhowell

I am 4 weeks into the sale of my house in Crickhowell and the estate agent has just telephoned to say that the purchasers are swapping solicitor. The reason given is that the bank will only work with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a leading mortgage company only engage with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Crickhowell ?

UK lenders have always had an approved set of law firms that can represent them, but in recent years big names such as HSBC, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for over 25 years.

Lenders point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed 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 hearing daily from firms 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 unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Crickhowell with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Crickhowell. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as normal because all ground rent and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
