I am progressing with the sale of my ground floor flat in Spennymoor and the estate agent has just text me to say that the buyers are swapping conveyancer. The excuse is that the bank will only work with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. Why would a major lender only deal with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Spennymoor ?
Banks have always had panels of law firms they are content to work with, but in the last few years big names such as HSBC, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for over 25 years.
Lenders blame a rise in fraud as the reason for the cull – 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 being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms 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.
Completed the sale of my flat in Spennymoor last March but my buyer keeps SMS messaging daily to moan that their lawyer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Spennymoor.

Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Spennymoor conveyancing?
The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from HSBC as we wish to carry out renovations to our home in Spennymoor. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Spennymoor solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
HSBC do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
