I can't travel far from Plaistow. I would like to know the logic why all Plaistow conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all bank panels?
A decade ago most lenders exhibited an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders set.
