I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Llandudno Junction for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company HSBC Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders on the whole imposes restrictions either the type or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few banks have limited the amount of solicitor practices they use to represent them. You should note that HSBC Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of HSBC Bank Conveyancer Panel.

Data from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Llandudno Junction only carry out very few conveyances per annum.
