Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Llwyngwril. What is the rationale as to why all Llwyngwril lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, banks have since looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.
