Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Lisson Grove is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Lisson Grove conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

How does conveyancing in Lisson Grove differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lisson Grove come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Lisson Grove tend to 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 property lawyers 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 Lisson Grove or who has acted in the same development.
