Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Lees. What is the rationale as to why all Lees conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Banks normally impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a firm must have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some building societies decided to limit the size of their panel they permit to represent them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the standard of service given by any Lees property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are contrary views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR reveal that thousands of law practices only transact a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why conveyancing firms should have any entitlement to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?
