Me and my wife are buying property in Ollerton. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Ollerton conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?
You have a couple of alternatives available to you here
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Ollerton conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will undoubtedly retain a lawyer from their approved list. The net result is additional fees and likely delay.
- Get a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to pull out all the stops to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel

How does conveyancing in Ollerton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ollerton contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Ollerton usually buy the site, 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 Ollerton or who has acted in the same development.
