Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Morden Park. What is the rationale as to why all Morden Park solicitors are not on all mortgage company panels?

Banks tend to restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a organisation must have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to limit the size of their panel they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the standard of service given by any Morden Park conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Property fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are opposing assessments about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR reveal that thousands of law organisations only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms should have the right to be listed on a lender panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

I am getting closer to an exchange on a property in Morden Park and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

The solicitor is obliged to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
