I am in the process of selling my apartment in New Farnley and the EA has just e-mailed to say that the purchasers are changing their conveyancer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a leading lender only engage with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in New Farnley ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms that can represent them, but in recent years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for more than 25 years.
Lenders attribute this action to a rise in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to oversee. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that 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 sway in the decision.
I am hoping to move into my new home in New Farnley next Tuesday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company.
