I am nearing exchange of contracts for my house in Earl Shilton and the estate agent has just telephoned to warn that the buyers are switching solicitor. I am told that this is due to the fact that the lender will only deal with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a major lender only engage with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Earl Shilton ?
Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in recent 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.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. 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 unlikely to have any sway in the decision.
