I am not in a position to travel far from Putney. I would like to know the understand why all Putney conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?
A decade ago most lenders had an approach to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. Consequently, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms concerning their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the minimum volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will receive a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to having them but you need to check with your solicitor but beware that it may end up incurring more in conveyancing fees. For this these contracts are unusual when it comes to conveyancing in Putney.
