A common example of such criteria being that a practice needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some have made a decision to limit the number of practices they allow to represent them. It is worth noting that building societies have no liability for the accuracy of advice provided by any Much Wenlock property lawyer on their approved list.

Data published by HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing organisations only conduct one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms deserve claim to remain on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
