Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Moor Row. Please clarify why all Moor Row conveyancers aren't included on all bank panels?
Banks normally impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Frequent examples of such criteria being that the firm is required to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some have decided to reduce the size of their panel they use to act for them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the accuracy of service supplied by any Moor Row solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR indicates that thousands of law practices only conduct a couple of conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why conveyancing firms should have the right to be on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Moor Row. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Moor Row who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Moor Row conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
