We are buying a purpose built flat in Crawcrook and Ryton with a residential mortgage from TSB.We like our Crawcrook and Ryton conveyancing solicitor but TSB informed us her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a TSB panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a TSB panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the TSB approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

How does conveyancing in Crawcrook and Ryton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crawcrook and Ryton approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Crawcrook and Ryton tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

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.
