I would like to know the reason why all property lawyers aren't included on the ModaMortgages Conveyancing panel?
Even though it may seem unfair for ModaMortgages to restrict who can act for them from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that the lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel the necessary need to protect them from mortgage fraud and other illegal activities.
