I can't travel far from Crynant. Can you please spell out why all Crynant conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Lenders normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a organisation must have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the number of conveyancers they permit to represent them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Crynant lawyer on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing organisations only carry out a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms should have claim to be on a lender panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

How does conveyancing in Crynant differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crynant contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Crynant typically 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 Crynant or who has acted in the same development.
