We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Lampeter for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company TSB won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies in the main restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of firms they allow to act for them. You should note that TSB have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of TSB Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Lampeter only carry out one or two conveyances per annum.

How does conveyancing in Lampeter differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Lampeter contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Lampeter tend to 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 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 Lampeter or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Lampeter ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lampeter. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
