Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Parkwood Springs is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Parkwood Springs conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

How does conveyancing in Parkwood Springs differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Parkwood Springs come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Parkwood Springs typically 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 property lawyers 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 Parkwood Springs or who has acted in the same development.
