I am not well enough to travel far from Thurston. I would like to know the understand why all Thurston lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that the practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to reduce the number of organisations they use to represent them. It is worth noting that banks have no liability for the accuracy of advice provided by any Thurston conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are conflicting opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law firms only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel pruning ask why conveyancing firms should have the right to be on a lender panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?

I have been told by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Thurston conveyancing?
The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
