I plan on acquiring a ground floor flat in Arlesey. My Conveyancer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Is it possible for me to use my Arlesey conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?
One must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your home. They will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. You can select a Arlesey lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the bank approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Arlesey what is the number one tip you can give me for the home moving process in Arlesey
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Arlesey or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience.

Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
How does conveyancing in Arlesey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Arlesey approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Arlesey 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 conveyancers 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 Arlesey or who has acted in the same development.
