I am not in a position to travel far from Putney Vale. Is there a reason why all Putney Vale property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?

A decade ago most banks had an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms about their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume 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. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.

How does conveyancing in Putney Vale differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Putney Vale approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Putney Vale 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 Putney Vale or who has acted in the same development.
