My partner and I are buying property in Wimborne. My Conveyancer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Wimborne conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your existing Wimborne property lawyer but your bank will need to instruct a conveyancer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost together with potential interruption.
- Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to apply to join the lender panel
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Wimborne costs more?
The conveyancing charges on a leasehold property in Wimborne is inevitably more expensive when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of extra work required in liaising with the landlord and management company to collate the information about whether the rent and service fee have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
I bought my house on 11 October and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wimborne said it would be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Wimborne uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Wimborne registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales.

Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Wimborne differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wimborne contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Wimborne tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wimborne or who has acted in the same development.

Flying freeholds in Wimborne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wimborne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wimborne may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 premises.
