I am five weeks into the sale of my maisonette in Great Wyrley and the estate agent has just e-mailed to say that the buyers are swapping law firm. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only work with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a major mortgage company only deal with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Great Wyrley ?

Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms that can represent them, but in the past few years big names such as Nationwide, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for over 25 years.

Lenders attribute this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the cull – 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 claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms 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 buyers are not going to have any impact on this.

Is it realistic for conveyancing in Great Wyrley to be concluded in less than two weeks?

In a situation where you are under pressure to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have conducted previoushouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Great Wyrley conveyancing lawyer. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is said that 18% of Great Wyrley conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Great Wyrley solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
