Me and my partner are hoping to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Ulverston with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Ulverston conveyancer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to select one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our Ulverston property lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower 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 Ulverston conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Ulverston.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Ulverston.

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises.

A purchaser’s lawyers will also order an enviro search. This will higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Ulverston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ulverston approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Ulverston usually buy 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 Ulverston or who has acted in the same development.
