Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Coombe Dingle. Can you please explain the reason why all Coombe Dingle conveyancers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies exhibited an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have subsequently requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

Most buyers of new build residence in Coombe Dingle approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into.
