I am considering applying for a TSB mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Ringwood with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for TSB ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but TSB will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
How does conveyancing in Ringwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ringwood approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Ringwood typically 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 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 Ringwood or who has acted in the same development.
