Is the fact that my solicitor in Flintshire is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Flintshire conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

How does conveyancing in Flintshire differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Flintshire contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Flintshire tend to purchase 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 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 Flintshire or who has acted in the same development.
