We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Woodford Green for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Banks on the whole restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few banks have reduced the number of solicitor practices they use to act for them. You should note that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers based in Woodford Green on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
