I can't travel far from Matlock. Can you please spell out why all Matlock conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage Companies normally impose restrictions on either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the size of their panel they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that banks have no liability for the accuracy of advice provided by any Matlock solicitor on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are contrary thoughts about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data via the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms should have claim to be on a lender panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?
