I am not in a position to travel far from Cleckheaton. Please explain the reason why all Cleckheaton conveyancers aren't included on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders demonstrated an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since requiredmore data from law firms concerning their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies required.
We were just about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Cleckheaton. We encountered a problem. Our mortgage offer with Bank of Scotland runs out on 24/6/2024 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 26/6/2024. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The best person to deal with your concern is your conveyancer who will assess if they should be discussing with the bank, vendor’s solicitors, estate agents or possibly all parties based on the history of your conveyancing as of today.
