The sole saving you would make on is the costs for searches. A lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.

We had instructed conveyancers with offices in Cranham on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Cranham property lawyer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Cranham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cranham solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Cranham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Cranham approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Cranham usually 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 Cranham or who has acted in the same development.
