I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Hedon?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender and determine if they allow a monetary alternative.

How does conveyancing in Hedon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hedon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Hedon 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Hedon or who has acted in the same development.
