I can't travel far from East Preston. What is the rationale as to why all East Preston property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
A decade ago most banks demonstrated an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their processes and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.
