Me and my partner are acquiring an apartment in Whissendine. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Whissendine conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

One must appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the appropriate due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may select a Whissendine solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

How does conveyancing in Whissendine differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Whissendine approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Whissendine usually acquire 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 Whissendine or who has acted in the same development.
