I am not in a position to travel far from Ogmore By Sea. Can you please spell out why all Ogmore By Sea solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders normally restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that a organisation is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the number of conveyancers they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that banks have no responsibility for the standard of service given by any Ogmore By Sea solicitor on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are conflicting views about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data from HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

I am selling my apartment in Ogmore By Sea. Will the property lawyer need to be required to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

How does conveyancing in Ogmore By Sea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ogmore By Sea come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Ogmore By Sea 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ogmore By Sea or who has acted in the same development.
