A decade ago most banks demonstrated an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms concerning their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders required.
