I can't travel far from Felixstowe. What is the rationale as to why all Felixstowe solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks normally impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm needs to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some lenders decided to limit the number of firms they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that building societies have no liability for the standard of advice provided by any Felixstowe property lawyer on their approved list. Property fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are conflicting points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics published by the Land Registry exposes that thousands of conveyancing practices only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning ask why conveyancing firms should have any entitlement to be listed on a lender panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
