My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Builth Wells. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Nationwide Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is e-mail the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise please get in touch with Nationwide Building Society who may be able to help.

I am planning to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Builth Wells. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this page.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Builth Wells building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Builth Wells conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Builth Wells differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Builth Wells contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Builth Wells typically buy 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 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 Builth Wells or who has acted in the same development.
