We wanted to use a property lawyer in Ashford Kent for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders on the whole restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have limited the amount of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Accord Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Accord Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Ashford Kent building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Ashford Kent conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ashford Kent
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Ashford Kent conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by HQ.
