My husband and I are hoping to buy a newly converted apartment in Shacklewell with a residential mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We use our Shacklewell conveyancing practitioner but The Mortgage Works informed us her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a The Mortgage Works panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works

How does conveyancing in Shacklewell differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Shacklewell come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Shacklewell usually acquire the land, 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 Shacklewell or who has acted in the same development.
