Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dinas Powys

We are planning to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Dinas Powys with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Dinas Powys conveyancer, but the lender says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to select one of the lender panel solicitors or keep our Dinas Powys solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 Dinas Powys conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Dinas Powys differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Dinas Powys contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Dinas Powys usually purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Dinas Powys or who has acted in the same development.

The buyer’s solicitor will check the land registry details and require evidence to establish the change of name for example marriage certificates.
