I am not well enough to travel far from Blakedown. I would like to know the reason why all Blakedown property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a practice must have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks decided to restrict the size of their panel they allow to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no accountability for the accuracy of advice given by any Blakedown conveyancer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are differing views about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning ask why law firms should have the right to be on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Blakedown?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
