Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Pewsey. I would like to know the reason why all Pewsey solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to banks and building societies removing less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancers .

The conveyancing solicitor in Pewsey who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder.

Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
