I am not well enough to travel far from Bebington. What is the rationale as to why all Bebington lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most lenders had an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently requiredmore information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.
