At what point does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Basingstoke and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Basingstoke you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Basingstoke)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

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