Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from West Heath. Please spell out why all West Heath lawyers aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Lenders ordinarily restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some have made a decision to reduce the number of organisations they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the accuracy of service provided by any West Heath conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are differing opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

Where the seller is applying time constraints to exchange it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they may have conducted previoushomes in the same road. You would be best advised to use a West Heath conveyancing solicitor. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is estimated that 18% of West Heath conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being held up by almost three weeks. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most West Heath conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
