Me and my husband are buying property in West Thurrock. My property lawyer is not on the mortgage company solicitor list. Can I still appoint my West Thurrock conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One will need to instruct a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you require a mortgage to buy your home. The lawyer will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may select a West Thurrock conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel supplemental fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

How does conveyancing in West Thurrock differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in West Thurrock come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in West Thurrock typically purchase 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in West Thurrock or who has acted in the same development.
