Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Petts Wood. Is there a reason why all Petts Wood conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some lenders made a decision to restrict the size of their panel they allow to act for them.

Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are conflicting points of view about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing organisations only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is evident that property law is not their speciality?

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Petts Wood. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Petts Wood?

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from HSBC as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Petts Wood. Do we need to choose a local Petts Wood solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
HSBC would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.
