I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Gateshead for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank The Mortgage Works won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders ordinarily restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, a few banks have limited the number of firms they permit to represent them. You should note that The Mortgage Works have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of The Mortgage Works Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed views about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Gateshead only execute a couple conveyances a year.
