I can't travel far from Trefriw. Is there a reason why all Trefriw are not on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most banks exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently soughtmore information 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 law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the lenders required.

Most buyers of new build residence in Trefriw come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Trefriw usually acquire 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.

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.
