I can't travel far from Ware. Please explain the reason why all Ware lawyers are not on all bank panels?

Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks for example HSBC decided to restrict the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the standard of advice given by any Ware conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are contrary views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing organisations only conduct one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have any entitlement to remain on a lender panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?
