Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Barnet. What is the rationale as to why all Barnet property lawyers aren't automatically on all bank panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that banks are increasingly anxious and consider it essential to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

My god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Barnet with a mortgage from Santander. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My husband and I are 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Barnet. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

A conveyancer would have to be very bad in order to consider diss instructing them. Has your loan offer been issued? If so you need to inform them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
