We are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Sherborne with a homeloan from Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Sherborne conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Scotland says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Bank of Scotland panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

How does conveyancing in Sherborne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sherborne contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Sherborne typically buy 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 property lawyers 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.
