I was told yesterday by my financial adviser that my Cann Hall the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Cann Hall lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Cann Hall conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
We are about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Cann Hall. We encountered a problem. Our loan offer with Accord Mortgages Ltd expires on 16/3/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 18/3/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to deal with your question is your lawyer who will hopefully determine whether they corresponding with the mortgage broker, owner’s conveyancers, estate agents or indeed all parties based on the circumstances your house move to date.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Cann Hall and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Cann Hall lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Cann Hall. We have lived in Cann Hall for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Cann Hall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cann Hall approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Cann Hall tend to acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cann Hall or who has acted in the same development.
I'm remortgaging my current house to a buy to let loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further property.

Make use of our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are your solicitor will be able to tie up the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and communicate your expectations and needs.
