I can't travel far from Robin Hoods Bay. What is the rationale as to why all Robin Hoods Bay property lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had an attitude to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently soughtmore data from law firms about their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.
