I can't travel far from Swavesey. What is the rationale as to why all Swavesey lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Lenders normally impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a organisation must have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have made a decision to restrict the size of their panel they use to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no liability for the accuracy of advice given by any Swavesey lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing organisations only transact one or two conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms should have the right to be on a lender panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
