Is the fact that my solicitor in Chadderton is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Chadderton conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

How does conveyancing in Chadderton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Chadderton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Chadderton tend to acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chadderton or who has acted in the same development.
