I can't travel far from Conisborough. What is the rationale as to why all Conisborough conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
A decade ago most lenders exhibited an approach to risk which is different than today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms about their processes and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.

I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Conisborough with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
