Banks normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners.

You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Walworth on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year.

To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
