Banks in the main restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing firms on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few banks have reduced the number of firms they permit to represent them. Be aware that Alliance & Leicester have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Alliance & Leicester Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there remains differing views concerning the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Market Drayton only perform one or two conveyances a year.

How does conveyancing in Market Drayton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Market Drayton approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Market Drayton usually purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Market Drayton or who has acted in the same development.
