I am not well enough to travel far from Borth Y Gest. Please spell out why all Borth Y Gest lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some building societies made a decision to limit the size of their panel they permit to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no accountability for the standard of service provided by any Borth Y Gest lawyer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing thoughts concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law firms only conduct one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

How does conveyancing in Borth Y Gest differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Borth Y Gest come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Borth Y Gest usually purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Borth Y Gest or who has acted in the same development.
