Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Market Bosworth. What is the rationale as to why all Market Bosworth solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Banks ordinarily impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that the organisation must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the number of conveyancers they permit to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the standard of conveyancing given by any Market Bosworth solicitor on their panel. Property fraud was a key driver in the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are conflicting assessments about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HM Land Registry exposes that thousands of law practices only transact one or two conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms should have any entitlement to remain on a lender panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
My Market Bosworth lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
