I am not in a position to travel far from Waltham Forest. Is there a reason why all Waltham Forest lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Pre- 2008 most banks displayed an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. Consequently, banks have since requiredmore information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.

Most buyers of new build residence in Waltham Forest approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed.

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 Waltham Forest or who has acted in the same development.
