We wanted to use a property lawyer in Aspley Guise for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage lenders Nottingham Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies in the main imposes restrictions either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel.

How does conveyancing in Aspley Guise differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Aspley Guise contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Aspley Guise 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 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 Aspley Guise or who has acted in the same development.
