My IFA says he needs my Cheshunt solicitor’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Cheshunt branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Cheshunt conveyancer . Most Cheshunt law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Cheshunt so that I can attend their offices when needed.
As opposed to ten years ago, almost all lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to supply identification documents and there are still distinct benefits to using a local practitioner, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Cheshunt.

How does conveyancing in Cheshunt differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Cheshunt come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Cheshunt usually purchase 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 Cheshunt or who has acted in the same development.

Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
