I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Forty Hill for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage lenders The Royal Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most lenders had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Forty Hill conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Forty Hill conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Forty Hill is amongst the hundreds of locations where the conveyancers we list are members of the panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland.
