I am not in a position to travel far from Cherry Burton. Is there a reason why all Cherry Burton lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies demonstrated an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.
