I am purchasing a flat in Redhill. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank conveyancing list. Can I still appoint my Redhill conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel?
One must have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. The lawyer will conduct all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You can instruct a Redhill conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Redhill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Redhill conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Redhill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Redhill come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Redhill usually acquire 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 Redhill or who has acted in the same development.
