I am not in a position to travel far from North Woolwich. What is the rationale as to why all North Woolwich conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some have decided to reduce the number of firms they allow to represent them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the standard of service supplied by any North Woolwich conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Property fraud was the main trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts question why conveyancing firms deserve the right to be on a bank panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

How does conveyancing in North Woolwich differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in North Woolwich contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in North Woolwich tend to 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.

It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in North Woolwich or who has acted in the same development.
