A decade ago most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Tonyrefail conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more information from law firms relating to their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Tonyrefail conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing.

Me and my partner are planning to purchase a three room first floor flatin Tonyrefail with a loan from a mortgage company. We wish to instruct our solicitor in Tonyrefail yet our bank advise he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Tonyrefail conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Tonyrefail lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Tonyrefail : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
