I am not in a position to travel far from Grantham. Please clarify why all Grantham conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most banks demonstrated an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently soughtmore information from law firms concerning their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.
