I can't travel far from North Acton. I would like to know the logic why all North Acton lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?

Mortgage Companies tend to impose restrictions on either the nature or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that the practice needs to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some have made a decision to reduce the number of practices they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that banks have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing given by any North Acton conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are opposing views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why conveyancing firms deserve the right to remain on a bank panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local North Acton building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My North Acton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.

As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
