I can't travel far from Lytchett Matravers. What is the rationale as to why all Lytchett Matravers conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Before the recession most banks demonstrated an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, mortgage companies have since requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of firms 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. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.
