I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a Streatham based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you want the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the lender and ask if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Streatham.

How does conveyancing in Streatham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Streatham contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Streatham usually purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Streatham or who has acted in the same development.
