I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a Corfe Mullen based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender to check if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Corfe Mullen.

How does conveyancing in Corfe Mullen differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Corfe Mullen come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Corfe Mullen tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Corfe Mullen or who has acted in the same development.

Corfe Mullen Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries before buying

The best form of lease arrangement is if the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders benefit from control and although a managing agent is frequently retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. For many Corfe Mullen leaseholds the outlay for major works are not built into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Corfe Mullen ask tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
