Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the organisation must have at least two partners.

It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the accuracy of conveyancing provided by any Bradley Stoke conveyancer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are opposing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing organisations only transact one or two conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms deserve any entitlement to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

How does conveyancing in Bradley Stoke differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Bradley Stoke approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Bradley Stoke typically 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bradley Stoke or who has acted in the same development.
