I can't travel far from Chingford. Is there a reason why all Chingford conveyancers are not on all bank panels?

Pre- 2008 most banks had an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently requiredmore data from law firms regarding their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders required.
