I can't travel far from Burton Bradstock. I would like to know the logic why all Burton Bradstock conveyancers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the firm needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some building societies made a decision to restrict the number of practices they permit to act for them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing supplied by any Burton Bradstock conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of solicitor panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are contrary assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact one or two conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts question why conveyancing firms should have any entitlement to be listed on a bank panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?
