Recently asked questions about conveyancing in North Finchley

I am selling my home in North Finchley and the estate agent has just e-mailed to say that the purchasers are swapping conveyancer. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only work with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a big named mortgage company only deal with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in North Finchley ?

Banks have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, but in the past few years big names such as Santander, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.

Banks blame a rise in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. 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. Some 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. The buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

Is there a search tool that I can utilise to investigate if the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in North Finchley is on the lender’sapproved panel?

Any high street North Finchley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in North Finchley. Having lived in North Finchley for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I am purchasing my first flat in North Finchley with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive.
