Banks tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the organisation must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks decided to limit the number of practices they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing given by any Robin Hoods Bay solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are opposing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law practices only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?
