Pre- 2008 most lenders had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Fairfield conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels.

Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Fairfield conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Fairfield is one of the many areas where the conveyancers we recommend are on the panel for Nottingham Building Society.

How does conveyancing in Fairfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fairfield approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Fairfield 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 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 Fairfield or who has acted in the same development.
