After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Morecambe. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Morecambe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Morecambe approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Morecambe typically buy 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 conveyancers 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 Morecambe or who has acted in the same development.
