I can't travel far from Westbury. What is the rationale as to why all Westbury property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?

Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders culling less reputable firms off their official list of approved conveyancing practitioners .

I am soon to complete buying a property in Westbury but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Nationwide will not permit this. Why were they informed?

The conveyancer that is on the Nationwide approved list is required to advise Nationwide of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nationwide and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Westbury.

My mortgage company has suggested solicitors on their panel based in Westbury but I would rather use a conveyancing lawyer in Westbury or nearer to where I live. Can you assist?

In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
