Please help. My Brinsworth lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toapply for Brinsworth conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Brinsworth conveyancing searches.
How does conveyancing in Brinsworth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Brinsworth come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Brinsworth usually purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brinsworth or who has acted in the same development.
