I am not well enough to travel far from Burroughs, The. What is the rationale as to why all Burroughs, The conveyancers are not on all bank panels?

Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the organisation needs to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some have made a decision to limit the size of their panel they use to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no liability for the accuracy of advice supplied by any Burroughs, The conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are conflicting views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing organisations only conduct a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms should have the right to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Aldermore are being problematic. The Burroughs, The solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
