Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Guisborough

I am five weeks into the sale of my ground floor flat in Guisborough and the EA has just telephoned to advise that the buyers are swapping solicitor. The reason given is that the bank will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a major mortgage company only engage with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Guisborough ?

UK lenders 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 considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for decades.

Banks blame a rise in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been stiffened 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 says it is hearing daily from firms 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. Your buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Guisborough. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?

As your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Guisborough.

You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Guisborough of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

Our solicitor in Guisborough is asking me for ID documents asserting that this is part of his requirements as a solicitor on the lender Solicitor panel. Can this be correct?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Guisborough
