Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Forestdale. I would like to know the reason why all Forestdale property lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, banks have subsequently requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the minimum volume of transactions the lenders required.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Forestdale. The Forestdale property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
