How does conveyancing in Wilsden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wilsden contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Wilsden typically 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 property lawyers 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 Wilsden or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wilsden is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My partner and I are purchasing a first floor flat in Wilsden. When we first instructed solicitor, they said that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to say that they are not on the Principality approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just pick a new property lawyer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with Principality appointing their own preferred conveyancing practitioner.
Where you are acquiring a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some building societies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Principality to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Principality's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Wilsden solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another property lawyer into the equation.
