I am not in a position to travel far from Burnopfield. Please explain the reason why all Burnopfield conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies purging a number of firms off their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Burnopfield conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for HSBC to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have HSBC completed the valuation? Have you informed HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Burnopfield bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Burnopfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your solicitor must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
