We wish to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Cambridge Heath with a loan from Britannia.We use our Cambridge Heath conveyancing solicitor but Britannia says her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Britannia panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Britannia panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Britannia 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia

How does conveyancing in Cambridge Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cambridge Heath approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Cambridge Heath 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cambridge Heath or who has acted in the same development.
Should I stop my mortgage payments with HSBC once a completion date for my home sale in Cambridge Heath has been agreed?
