I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Wootton lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Wootton.
How does conveyancing in Wootton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wootton approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Wootton typically 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 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 Wootton or who has acted in the same development.
