Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Betws Y Coed. I would like to know the understand why all Betws Y Coed conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks tend to impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a organisation must have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some banks for instance HSBC decided to reduce the size of their panel they use to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the accuracy of advice given by any Betws Y Coed conveyancer on their panel. Property fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are differing assessments concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry exposes that thousands of law organisations only conduct a couple of conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why law firms deserve the right to remain on a conveyancing panel when it is evident that property law is not their primary expertise?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
