We are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Bookham with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Bookham conveyancing practitioner but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

About to purchase maisonette in Bookham.

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Bookham.

How does conveyancing in Bookham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Bookham approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Bookham typically acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bookham or who has acted in the same development.
