We wanted to use a property lawyer in Newport Pagnell for our home move. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing firms on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, a few banks have limited the amount of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud.

How does conveyancing in Newport Pagnell differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Newport Pagnell approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Newport Pagnell usually 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 conveyancers 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 Newport Pagnell or who has acted in the same development.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My husband and I accepted an offer on a Newport Pagnell apartment we inherited 8 years ago in 2011.
