It is claimed that 18% of Box conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Box conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

My offer was accepted on a house in Box on , valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the conveyancing panel.
