Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Eastney and Southsea. Can you please explain the reason why all Eastney and Southsea are not on all mortgage company panels?

Mortgage Companies normally impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to limit the number of firms they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that building societies have no liability for the quality of advice supplied by any Eastney and Southsea on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are differing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by the Land Registry indicates that thousands of law firms only carry out a couple of conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
