Even though it may seem unfair for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the the contrary view is that banks are increasingly anxious and feel it crucial to protect them from illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders have restricted their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

I am hoping to complete my purchase in Kingswood next Tuesday. My solicitor now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

We are buying a purpose built flat in Kingswood with a loan from Skipton Building Society.We have a Kingswood conveyancing lawyer but Skipton Building Society advised that he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Skipton Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
