I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Netherley based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender and see if they allow a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Netherley.

How does conveyancing in Netherley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Netherley approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Netherley usually acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Netherley or who has acted in the same development.
