Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Lound is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent 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) lack 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Lound conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I am hoping to complete my purchase in Lound next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 conditions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Lound.

How does conveyancing in Lound differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Lound come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Lound 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 Lound or who has acted in the same development.
