How does conveyancing in Horwich differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Horwich contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Horwich 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 Horwich or who has acted in the same development.

My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Horwich. When we first instructed conveyancer, they assured us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker called yesterday to advise that they don't appear to be on the RBS approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with RBS appointing their own approved lawyer.

Where you are purchasing a property needing a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should call RBS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on RBS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Horwich lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
