As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland.

The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Wraysbury.
How does conveyancing in Wraysbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wraysbury approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Wraysbury usually buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wraysbury or who has acted in the same development.
