I am not well enough to travel far from New Romney. What is the rationale as to why all New Romney property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
As inequitable as it may appear for mortgage companies to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s viewpoint, the the contrary view is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and consider it essential to protect them from illegal activities. As a result of this concern mortgage companies have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in New Romney. The New Romney property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is principally there to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
