Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Fairbourne. Is there a reason why all Fairbourne conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders displayed an approach to risk which is different than today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since looked to extract more information from law firms about their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

New build sellers have recommended to me a conveyancing practitioner and I've received a quote from them. It's almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my local Fairbourne property lawyer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Fairbourne solicitor.
