My partner and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Kenley. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Kenley conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
You have numerous alternatives available to you here
- Carry on with your preferred Kenley conveyancer but your mortgage company will need to instruct a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost and potential frustration.
- Get a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to join the lender’s conveyancing panel
The sellers of the property we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Kenley who has recommended a preliminary contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Kenley, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the seller has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.

How does conveyancing in Kenley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kenley come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kenley usually acquire 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 Kenley or who has acted in the same development.
