My fiance and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Hook with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We would like to retain our Hook conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland advised that his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Ireland panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

How does conveyancing in Hook differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hook come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Hook typically purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hook or who has acted in the same development.
