I can't travel far from Trentham. What is the rationale as to why all Trentham solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?
A decade ago most lenders exhibited an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.
