Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was retained a compulsory part of selling a house.

How does conveyancing in Penistone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Penistone contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Penistone usually 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 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 Penistone or who has acted in the same development.

We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Penistone lawyer?
No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Penistone : a mortgagee 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
