I am not well enough to travel far from Buckley. I would like to know the logic why all Buckley conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders pruning less reputable firms off their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .
