Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Selsey. What is the rationale as to why all Selsey conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies pruning a number of firms from their panel of approved conveyancers .

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Selsey?
Conveyancing - in Selsey or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the seller to fix the problems before you move in.
