Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Bewdley. Can you please clarify why all Bewdley conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal 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 lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders pruning a number of firms off their panel of approved lawyers .
