Is the fact that my solicitor in Didsbury is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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) low volume 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 contact the Didsbury conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Didsbury conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Didsbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Didsbury approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Didsbury usually purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Didsbury or who has acted in the same development.
