I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a Hackney Wick based conveyancing firm?

It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Hackney Wick.

Every auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor will need.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Hackney Wick. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Hackney Wick differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hackney Wick approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Hackney Wick tend to acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hackney Wick or who has acted in the same development.
