I am not in a position to travel far from North Walsham. What is the rationale as to why all North Walsham conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Lenders normally impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that the practice is required to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to reduce the number of conveyancers they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the accuracy of conveyancing given by any North Walsham property lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are conflicting thoughts concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data from HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a bank panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?
