I am not in a position to travel far from Shinfield. Is there a reason why all Shinfield solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies culling a number of firms off their panel of approved property lawyers .

Leasehold conveyancing in Shinfield is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.
