Me and my partner are buying a flat in Bexleyheath. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender conveyancing list. Can I still use my Bexleyheath conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your preferred Bexleyheath property lawyer but your lender will undoubtedly use a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees together with likely delay.
- Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to pull out all the stops to get listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel
Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Bexleyheath with a home loan from RBS. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does conveyancing in Bexleyheath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bexleyheath contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Bexleyheath tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Bexleyheath or who has acted in the same development.
