The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have since requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been 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 found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders insisted on.
