I am not in a position to travel far from West Malling. Is there a reason why all West Malling solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in mortgage companies purging a number of firms from their books of approved property lawyers .
we are a couple who are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in West Malling with a homeloan from Santander.We would like to retain our West Malling conveyancing practitioner but Santander advised that her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Santander panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Santander panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
