We intend to purchase a newly converted apartment in West Bridgford with a residential mortgage from TSB.We would like to retain our West Bridgford conveyancing solicitor but TSB informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a TSB panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the TSB approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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 TSB

How does conveyancing in West Bridgford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in West Bridgford come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in West Bridgford tend to purchase 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 West Bridgford or who has acted in the same development.
