Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Preston Park. I would like to know the reason why all Preston Park solicitors are not on all bank panels?

Banks tend to restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that a practice needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some lenders decided to limit the number of organisations they allow to represent them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no accountability for the quality of advice provided by any Preston Park conveyancer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are conflicting views about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data via HMLR exposes that thousands of law practices only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning ask why law firms should have the right to be on a bank panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

As with many professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be very helpful.
