I am not well enough to travel far from North Finchley. What is the rationale as to why all North Finchley lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that the organisation needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some building societies made a decision to restrict the size of their panel they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the quality of service provided by any North Finchley conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are differing views concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms should have the right to remain on a lender panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in North Finchley?
