Banks tend to restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that the practice must have at least two partners.

You should note that lenders have no accountability for the quality of advice supplied by any Kenilworth on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are conflicting opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by the Land Registry exposes that thousands of law organisations only conduct one or two conveyances annually.
