Can you help? My Anerley solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toapply for Anerley conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any say here?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements .

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Anerley?

How does conveyancing in Anerley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Anerley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Anerley usually buy 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 Anerley or who has acted in the same development.
