Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Clynderwen. What is the rationale as to why all Clynderwen lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Before the recession most banks exhibited an attitude to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have since soughtmore information from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Clynderwen. The Clynderwen property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
