I am not well enough to travel far from Lansbury. Is there a reason why all Lansbury property lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders had an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently soughtmore data from law firms about their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.

How does conveyancing in Lansbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Lansbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Lansbury tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lansbury or who has acted in the same development.
