I am not well enough to travel far from Bessacarr. I would like to know the understand why all Bessacarr conveyancers are not on all bank panels?

As unjust as it may seem for banks to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the other side of the coin is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and feel it essential to defend themselves from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

How does conveyancing in Bessacarr differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Bessacarr contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Bessacarr tend to acquire 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 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 Bessacarr or who has acted in the same development.
