Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Coombe Dingle. Is there a reason why all Coombe Dingle property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders pruning less reputable firms off their panel of approved lawyers .

How does conveyancing in Coombe Dingle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Coombe Dingle come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Coombe Dingle usually buy 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 Coombe Dingle or who has acted in the same development.
