How does conveyancing in Ilfracombe differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Ilfracombe come to 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 Ilfracombe tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ilfracombe or who has acted in the same development.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ilfracombe

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Ilfracombe conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.

We are planning to purchase a three room bungalowin Ilfracombe with a loan from a mortgage company. We like our conveyancer in Ilfracombe but our mortgage company inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Ilfracombe solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Ilfracombe lawyer?

No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Ilfracombe : 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
