Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Neath Port Talbot. Can you please spell out why all Neath Port Talbot conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a practice needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks decided to limit the number of organisations they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of service given by any Neath Port Talbot property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are contrary opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HM Land Registry exposes that thousands of law organisations only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts question why conveyancing firms should have any entitlement to be on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?
