I am progressing with the sale of my home in Worksop and the estate agent has just text me to advise that the purchasers are swapping conveyancer. The reason given is that the bank will only deal with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a major lender only deal with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to select to handle their conveyancing in Worksop ?
Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms that can represent them, but in the last few years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.
Lenders blame a rise in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms 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. Your purchasers are not going to have any sway in the decision.
