I am not in a position to travel far from Borth. What is the rationale as to why all Borth solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most banks had an attitude to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, banks have since looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of 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. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders set.
