I am not well enough to travel far from Maesteg. What is the rationale as to why all Maesteg property lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the property lawyers on your panel. As a result, banks have since requiredmore data from law firms regarding their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders required.
