I am considering applying for a Co-operative mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in West Drayton with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Co-operative ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Co-operative will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

How does conveyancing in West Drayton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in West Drayton approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in West Drayton 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in West Drayton or who has acted in the same development.
Do I need to be wary by third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street West Drayton conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may put forward solicitors to appoint. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your house move.
