We are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Barlaston and Tittensor with a mortgage. We like our Barlaston and Tittensor solicitor, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Barlaston and Tittensor lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not demand that the mortgage company use our Barlaston and Tittensor lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s 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 Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Barlaston and Tittensor with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

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