I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Monmouth for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Godiva Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Lenders ordinarily imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have reduced the amount of firms they allow to act for them. Be aware that Godiva Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Godiva Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are mixed views regarding the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud.
