I can't travel far from Burroughs, The. Is there a reason why all Burroughs, The property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily impose restrictions on either the nature or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the organisation needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some banks for example HSBC decided to restrict the size of their panel they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no accountability for the accuracy of conveyancing provided by any Burroughs, The solicitor on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are contrary points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms should have any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?
