I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Undy. 95% of the appartments have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Undy?
You are putting yourself at risk in refusing to carrying out Undy conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. Where time pressures and price are top of your issues you should discuss with your conveyancer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Undy?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Undy.
How does conveyancing in Undy differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Undy come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Undy usually buy 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 Undy or who has acted in the same development.

My lawyers in Undy have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
