Before the recession most lenders exhibited an attitude to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. As a result, banks have since looked to extract more information from law firms about their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.
