I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Burnham On Crouch. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

How does conveyancing in Burnham On Crouch differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Burnham On Crouch come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Burnham On Crouch 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Burnham On Crouch or who has acted in the same development.
