Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Lymm and Warburton. Is there a reason why all Lymm and Warburton solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had an approach to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, banks have subsequently requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been removed 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 found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton and elsewhere in Cheshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
