Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and know-how. It is even conceivable that they may have handled previoushouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Nayland conveyancing lawyer. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that just under twenty per cent of Nayland conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being delayed by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Nayland conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
