We wanted to use a property lawyer in Chiswick for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Chiswick conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more information from law firms concerning their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Chiswick conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Chiswick is one of the many locations where the lawyers we list are members of the panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd.

How does conveyancing in Chiswick differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Chiswick approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Chiswick usually acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Chiswick or who has acted in the same development.
