We wanted to use a property lawyer in Basildon for our home move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage lenders Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Banks ordinarily imposes restrictions either the category or the amount of conveyancing practices on their member panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. You should note that Birmingham Midshires have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Birmingham Midshires Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions regarding the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Basildon only carry out very few conveyances a year.
How does conveyancing in Basildon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Basildon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Basildon typically 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 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 Basildon or who has acted in the same development.
