Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Fenstanton. Is there a reason why all Fenstanton conveyancers aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Banks normally restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation is required to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some building societies decided to limit the number of organisations they permit to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no liability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Fenstanton conveyancer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are conflicting views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Fenstanton you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Fenstanton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
