Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Acrefair who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Nationwide Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Acrefair based conveyancing firm?

How does conveyancing in Acrefair differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Acrefair contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Acrefair tend to acquire 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 Acrefair or who has acted in the same development.
