I am 4 weeks into the sale of my home in Kingsnorth and the EA has just called to say that the buyers are switching solicitor. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. Why would a major mortgage company only work with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Kingsnorth ?
Banks have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for more than 15 years.
Banks blame a rise in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. No lender will say 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 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 purchasers are unlikely to have any impact on this.
