I can't travel far from Frenchay. What is the rationale as to why all Frenchay property lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most banks demonstrated an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since looked to extract more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.
