Banks normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a organisation is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have made a decision to limit the number of organisations they allow to act for them. You should note that building societies have no accountability for the accuracy of conveyancing provided by any Cleator conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact one or two conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel pruning ask why law firms should have claim to be listed on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Cleator conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
