I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Llanbradach for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Barclays won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Banks ordinarily imposes restrictions either the type or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have reduced the amount of firms they permit to act for them. Be aware that Barclays have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barclays Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed opinions regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Llanbradach only conduct very few conveyances a year.

We are planning to purchase a four bedroom flatin Llanbradach with a home loan from a bank. We wish to instruct our conveyancer in Llanbradach however our lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Llanbradach conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Llanbradach : a mortgagee 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
