I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Cambridge Heath based conveyancing firm?

In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Cambridge Heath.

How does conveyancing in Cambridge Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Cambridge Heath come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Cambridge Heath typically buy 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 Cambridge Heath or who has acted in the same development.
