Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the practice is required to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some banks decided to limit the size of their panel they allow to represent them. It is worth noting that banks have no responsibility for the quality of service given by any Kirk Ella on their panel. Property fraud was the main trigger for the rationalisation of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are opposing assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR indicates that thousands of law practices only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms should have any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is evident that property law is not their speciality?

It’s unusual for properties in Kirk Ella and has limited impact for conveyancing in Kirk Ella but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
