We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society

How does conveyancing in Acocks Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Acocks Green approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Acocks Green typically buy 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 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 Acocks Green or who has acted in the same development.
