I am nearing exchange of contracts for my house in Miskin and the estate agent has just called to say that the purchasers are changing their property lawyer. The reason given is that the bank will only deal with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a big named mortgage company only work with certain solicitors rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Miskin ?
UK lenders have always had an approved set of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the past few years big names such as Nationwide, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for more than 25 years.
Lenders point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. 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. Plenty of firms 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. Your purchasers are not going to have any impact on this.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Miskin conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
