I had an offer accepted on a house in Brownhills on 22/3/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

How does conveyancing in Brownhills differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brownhills contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Brownhills typically buy 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 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 Brownhills or who has acted in the same development.
