Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Haggerston. Is there a reason why all Haggerston conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of 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. It led to banks and building societies pruning less reputable firms off their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .

How does conveyancing in Haggerston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Haggerston come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Haggerston typically buy the site, 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 Haggerston or who has acted in the same development.
