I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Newham is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Newham lawyer having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Newham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Newham.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Newham being more expensive?

Buying a brand new property is completely different from the normal house buying conveyancing in Newham. For a start sellers normally demand contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, the result being a lot of pressure on your property lawyer to ensure everything is in order. Furthermore new build properties frequently involve the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Lenders requirements are also more demanding. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
