I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Martlesham Heath with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Martlesham Heath for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Martlesham Heath differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Martlesham Heath come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Martlesham Heath typically buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Martlesham Heath or who has acted in the same development.
