I can't travel far from Cherry Willingham. Is there a reason why all Cherry Willingham solicitors are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies displayed an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms concerning their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands 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 amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.
