Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Welton. Is there a reason why all Welton are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies tend to impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the firm needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks for instance HSBC made a decision to restrict the size of their panel they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no liability for the standard of conveyancing supplied by any Welton on their panel. Property fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are conflicting points of view concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only conduct one or two conveyances a year.

How does conveyancing in Welton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Welton contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Welton usually buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Welton or who has acted in the same development.
