Is the fact that my conveyancer in Kirkby Lonsdale is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Kirkby Lonsdale conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

How does conveyancing in Kirkby Lonsdale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kirkby Lonsdale approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Kirkby Lonsdale typically acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kirkby Lonsdale or who has acted in the same development.
