We are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Stocksbridge with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society.We like our Stocksbridge conveyancing solicitor but Skipton Building Society advised that he's not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Skipton Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Skipton Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society

How does conveyancing in Stocksbridge differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Stocksbridge approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Stocksbridge typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stocksbridge or who has acted in the same development.

I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing solicitor in Stocksbridge for my purchase. Is there any facility to check a firm’s complaints history with the profession’s regulator?

International callers, dial +44 (0)121 329 6800. The regulator sometimes recorded call for training reasons.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Stocksbridge being more expensive?

Buying a brand new home is completely different from the normal house buying conveyancing in Stocksbridge. Firstly developers ordinarily require contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, so there is a a great deal of pressure on your conveyancing practitioner to ensure everything is in order. Furthermore new build premises often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Bank requirements are also more detailed. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
