I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Godalming with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
How does conveyancing in Godalming differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Godalming approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Godalming typically 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 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 Godalming or who has acted in the same development.
