We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Harborne based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank and check if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Harborne.
How does conveyancing in Harborne differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Harborne come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Harborne usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Harborne or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for Harborne competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be sure that all the Harborne practices that are identified on your directory are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Harborne firm being on the bank conveyancing panel is not accurate.
