I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Chilwell for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Nationwide Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Lenders in the main restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. Be aware that Nationwide Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Nationwide Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing views regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Chilwell only conduct a couple conveyances a year.

How does conveyancing in Chilwell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Chilwell approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Chilwell usually buy 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 Chilwell or who has acted in the same development.
