I am in the process of selling my house in Sutton in Ashfield and the EA has just telephoned to say that the buyers are appointing a new conveyancer. The excuse is that the lender will only deal with property lawyers on their approved list. On what basis would a leading mortgage company only work with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Sutton in Ashfield ?
Lenders have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.
Lenders point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. No lender will say 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 purchasers are unlikely to have any impact on this.
