I am not well enough to travel far from Finningley. I would like to know the understand why all Finningley conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. As a result, lenders have since looked to extract more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of 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 volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.
