Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Downham Market

I am selling my maisonette in Downham Market and the EA has just telephoned to say that the buyers are appointing a new property lawyer. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only engage with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a big named lender only deal with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Downham Market ?

Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, 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 more than 25 years.

Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms 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 impact on this.
