I am not well enough to travel far from Lansbury. What is the rationale as to why all Lansbury property lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Lenders tend to impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that the practice needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some lenders decided to limit the number of conveyancers they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no responsibility for the standard of advice given by any Lansbury lawyer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are contrary opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing practices only carry out a couple of conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

I have been told by my solicitor that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Lansbury conveyancing?

The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

is it true that all Lansbury conveyancing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be regulated by the CLC.

I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Lansbury. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?

You must advise Nationwide prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel firm.
