we are a couple who are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Aylesford with a homeloan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We use our Aylesford conveyancing lawyer but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that she’s not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

My wife and I are spending time viewing apartments in Aylesford and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with UBS.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Aylesford off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Aylesford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Aylesford come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Aylesford usually purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Aylesford or who has acted in the same development.
