We decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Chalfont St Peter with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We use our Chalfont St Peter conveyancing solicitor but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

How does conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Chalfont St Peter come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Chalfont St Peter 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter or who has acted in the same development.
