I am not well enough to travel far from Eynsham. What is the rationale as to why all Eynsham property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a practice must have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks decided to limit the number of conveyancers they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that banks have no accountability for the accuracy of conveyancing supplied by any Eynsham conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the rationalisation of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are opposing points of view about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HM Land Registry exposes that thousands of law practices only conduct one or two conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms should have claim to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Eynsham and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Eynsham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Eynsham?
