Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Flint Mountain. Is there a reason why all Flint Mountain property lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders displayed an approach to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have subsequently soughtmore data from law firms about their processes and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of law practices 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 found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders set.
I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Flint Mountain. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Flint Mountain. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
