Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Pantymwyn is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters 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 Pantymwyn conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

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