I can't travel far from Lynton. I would like to know the logic why all Lynton solicitors aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Before the recession most banks had an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have subsequently requiredmore data from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders required.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Lynton 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
