How does conveyancing in Langport differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Langport contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Langport 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 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 Langport or who has acted in the same development.

My wife and I are buying a first floor flat in Langport. When we first instructed property lawyer, they said that they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they are not on the Principality approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with Principality selecting their own preferred property lawyer.

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the lawyer has to satisfy. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Principality to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Principality's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Langport solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
