I am not in a position to travel far from Catford. What is the rationale as to why all Catford are not on all bank panels?

Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a organisation is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some lenders made a decision to reduce the size of their panel they use to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no liability for the standard of service given by any Catford on their panel. Property fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are conflicting thoughts concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HM Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact one or two conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms should have claim to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?
