Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Enfield Wash. Is there a reason why all Enfield Wash property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which is different from today. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have since requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the lenders required.
Are the Enfield Wash conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?
Enfield Wash conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.

As far as conveyancing in Enfield Wash is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property so post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Enfield Wash differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Enfield Wash approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Enfield Wash typically buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Enfield Wash or who has acted in the same development.
