How does conveyancing in Dyserth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Dyserth approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Dyserth tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Dyserth or who has acted in the same development.

-
A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the building A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.

My partner and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Dyserth. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The mortgage broker emailed yesterday to say that they are not on the Virgin Money approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Virgin Money selecting their own approved conveyancer.
Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Virgin Money to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Virgin Money's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Dyserth lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the mix.
