When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Bedford Hill and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Bedford Hill you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Bedford Hill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bedford Hill come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Bedford Hill usually purchase the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bedford Hill or who has acted in the same development.
