I am 4 weeks into the sale of my maisonette in Llandrindod Wells and the estate agent has just e-mailed to advise that the buyers are changing their solicitor. The reason given is that the bank will only work with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. Why would a big named mortgage company only work with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Llandrindod Wells ?
Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for more than 15 years.
Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to reveal 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 not going to have any impact on this.

My husband and I intend to acquire our 1st house in Llandrindod Wells. Conveyancing lawyer has been selected. The mortgage adviser pointed out that a survey is not necessary as the property is just 20 yrs old.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is over 10 years old the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues seek a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
