I am not in a position to travel far from Hexham. Please spell out why all Hexham property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
Lenders 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 conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders removing a number of firms off their panel of approved solicitors .

How does conveyancing in Hexham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Hexham contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Hexham tend to acquire 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 Hexham or who has acted in the same development.

Should I instruct a Hexham conveyancing solicitor based in the area that I am buying? An old friend can conduct the conveyancing but his firm is located 300kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Hexham conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Hexham know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown Hexham conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
