Can you help? My Rossett conveyancer is advising me that he has toapply for Rossett conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Is my conveyancer correct?

You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Rossett conveyancing searches.

How does conveyancing in Rossett differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Rossett approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Rossett usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Rossett or who has acted in the same development.
