Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fetcham

Me and my fiance are planning to purchase a 2 bedroom flat in Fetcham with a mortgage. We have a Fetcham lawyer, however the lender advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Fetcham conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; 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 Fetcham conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Fetcham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Fetcham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Fetcham tend to 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Fetcham or who has acted in the same development.
