Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Golders Green. I would like to know the understand why all Golders Green conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from 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 mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms off their books of approved solicitors .

How does conveyancing in Golders Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Golders Green come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Golders Green usually 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Golders Green or who has acted in the same development.
