Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Monkseaton. I would like to know the reason why all Monkseaton conveyancers aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Before the recession most lenders exhibited an attitude to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the property lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, mortgage companies have since requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders set.
