I can't travel far from Kirkby Stephen. What is the rationale as to why all Kirkby Stephen conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and regard it imperative to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern mortgage companies have restricted their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

How does conveyancing in Kirkby Stephen differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kirkby Stephen approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Kirkby Stephen tend to purchase the site, 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 Kirkby Stephen or who has acted in the same development.
