I am not in a position to travel far from Ventnor. Please clarify why all Ventnor conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?

A decade ago most mortgage companies demonstrated an approach to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, lenders have since soughtmore data from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
