I am progressing with the sale of my maisonette in Penwortham and the EA has just telephoned to advise that the buyers are switching law firm. The excuse is that the lender will only engage with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a major mortgage company only engage with certain solicitors rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Penwortham ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in recent years big names such as HSBC, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for decades.
Lending institutions 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. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are unlikely to have any impact on this.
My wife and I are buying a house in Penwortham. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
