I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Dartmouth Park on 28/11/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

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

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
