We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Frampton Cotterell with a mortgage. We like our Frampton Cotterell conveyancer, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or retain our Frampton Cotterell conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them.

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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.

You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice.

How does conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Frampton Cotterell contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Frampton Cotterell typically acquire the land, 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 Frampton Cotterell or who has acted in the same development.

There is not much else in Frampton Cotterell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
