I am nearing exchange of contracts for my house in Walsingham and the EA has just e-mailed to advise that the buyers are changing their conveyancer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the lender will only engage with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a leading lender only deal with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Walsingham ?
Lenders have always had an approved set 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 worked with them for over 25 years.
Lenders attribute this action to a rise in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. 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 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. The purchasers are not going to have any sway in the decision.
My partner and I are planning on selling our home in Walsingham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Walsingham conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Walsingham. We have lived in Walsingham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
