As well as restricting the structure of firm, some banks decided to reduce the number of conveyancers they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that lenders have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing supplied by any Borehamwood and Elstree on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are conflicting opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of law practices only transact one or two conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why conveyancing firms should have the right to be listed on a lender panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?
