Can you help? My Broseley lawyer is assuring me that he has toapply for Broseley conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westsolicitor panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Broseley conveyancing searches.

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