I am not in a position to travel far from Falmouth. Is there a reason why all Falmouth solicitors are not on all mortgage company panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector.
