I am not well enough to travel far from Eccleston. I would like to know the logic why all Eccleston conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?

Pre- 2008 most banks demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more data from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders required.

The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Eccleston conveyancing specialists.

I have been pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Eccleston to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
