we are a couple who wish to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Newark on Trent with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We have a Newark on Trent conveyancing lawyer but Godiva Mortgages Ltd advised that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd
We were going to get a DIP from Barclays this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Newark on Trent solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Newark on Trent solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Newark on Trent. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

About to purchase maisonette in Newark on Trent. 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 Newark on Trent lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Newark on Trent differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Newark on Trent contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Newark on Trent typically buy 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 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 Newark on Trent or who has acted in the same development.
