I am selling my flat in Boscombe. Will my need to be required to be on the conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

How does conveyancing in Boscombe differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Boscombe contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Boscombe typically buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Boscombe or who has acted in the same development.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Boscombe

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Boscombe conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
