My apartment in Empingham is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my solicitor need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.

How does conveyancing in Empingham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Empingham approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Empingham usually purchase 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Empingham or who has acted in the same development.
