Buying a New Build....getting weird vibes about Countrywide Conveyancing...

1. Do not you countrywide conveyancing. I've worked for countrywide and I wouldn't touch them.
2. Instruct a new solicitor.
3.Contact the HTB agent and tell them you have changed solicitors. Tell the developer too, they need to know. If the developer has a recommended solicitor I would go with them, they should be able to give you a choice.0 -
1 - Nope, not leasehold.Deleted_User said:Are you purchasing a leasehold? They panel all the lease stuff out as they don't want difficult stuff.
2 different solicitors is not ideal
If your purchase solicitor isn't countrywide conveyancing then you are going to have to redo your help to Buy paperwork anyway, may as well move to a decent firm who can do the sale and purchase together
2 - Agree, already been in contact with the Countrywide Connect team to ask for the Selling side to be transferred to the same solicitors doing the purchasing (they are not CC). I've been told that should be ok.

Although I'm going through CC it is being panelled out (is that the correct term?) to another solicitors, at least the purchasing side is anyway. I've contacted the CC Connect team to request that the selling side is transferred to the same solicitors as the purchasing side.Sammyd159 said:1. Do not you countrywide conveyancing.

General update - although I'm going through CC Connect, I've been panelled out to a different solicitors, the same for both purchasing and selling. So I'm hopeful that I've managed to steer clear as recommended by literally everyone!
Hmm, how does this work then? I'm going through Countrywide Conveyancing who have panelled out the linked cases to a different solicitors, I assume this means I really have dodged the bullet?0
