Is it the case that all Cheslyn Hay CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I am expecting a AIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Cheslyn Hay solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Cheslyn Hay solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
How does conveyancing in Cheslyn Hay differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cheslyn Hay contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Cheslyn Hay 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 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 Cheslyn Hay or who has acted in the same development.
