Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Holbrook

I am not well enough to travel far from Holbrook. Is there a reason why all Holbrook solicitors aren't included on all bank panels?

A decade ago most banks displayed an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
