Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from St Fagans. What is the rationale as to why all St Fagans lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to lenders pruning less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancers .
