Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Malden Rushett. I would like to know the reason why all Malden Rushett solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies demonstrated an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the property lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.
