I am not well enough to travel far from North Harrow. What is the rationale as to why all North Harrow property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Banks normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that the firm is required to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to reduce the number of practices they permit to act for them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the standard of service given by any North Harrow conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are differing assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of conveyancing organisations only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in North Harrow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
How does conveyancing in North Harrow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in North Harrow contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in North Harrow tend to 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 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 North Harrow or who has acted in the same development.
