I am not well enough to travel far from Morriston. Is there a reason why all Morriston solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011.

It led to mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms off their books of approved conveyancers .
