I am not in a position to travel far from Glenfield. Is there a reason why all Glenfield conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies culling less reputable firms from their panel of approved solicitors .

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Glenfield.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Glenfield property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
