I am not in a position to travel far from Barkingside. Please clarify why all Barkingside solicitors are not on all lender panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms off their official list of approved conveyancers .
