I am not in a position to travel far from Barons Court. What is the rationale as to why all Barons Court conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
A decade ago most lenders exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have subsequently requiredmore information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
