we are a couple who intend to purchase a 2 bedroom apartment in Marshfield with a homeloan from Alliance & Leicester .We like our Marshfield conveyancing solicitor but Alliance & Leicester advised that his firm is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester

How does conveyancing in Marshfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Marshfield approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Marshfield tend to purchase 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 Marshfield or who has acted in the same development.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Marshfield
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Marshfield conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
