How does conveyancing in Mapperley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Mapperley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Mapperley typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Mapperley or who has acted in the same development.

My fiance and I are buying a 2 bedroom ground floor flatin Mapperley with a mortgage from a lender. We like our lawyer in Mapperley but our lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Mapperley conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Mapperley : a mortgagee 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 your mortgage company.
