Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Parkwood Springs. I would like to know the logic why all Parkwood Springs conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all bank panels?
Before the recession most lenders exhibited an approach to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, banks have since requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.
