My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Lloyds as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Branston. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Branston solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Lloyds don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds list.
We were going to get a OIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Branston solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Branston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

How does conveyancing in Branston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Branston contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Branston usually 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 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 Branston or who has acted in the same development.
