I can't travel far from Victoria Park. I would like to know the reason why all Victoria Park solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have since requiredmore data from law firms regarding their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the lenders required.
