I am nearing exchange of contracts for my ground floor flat in Lamorbey and the EA has just telephoned to advise that the buyers are changing their law firm. The reason given is that the lender will only work with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a major mortgage company only work with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Lamorbey ?

Banks have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in the last few years big names such as Santander, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.

Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.
