Is the fact that my solicitor in Deptford is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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 simply call the Deptford conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Deptford what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Deptford
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Deptford and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Deptford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer above all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

How does conveyancing in Deptford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Deptford approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Deptford tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Deptford or who has acted in the same development.
