Your estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Skipton or the broker and finalise any appropriate documentation. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Skipton will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Belgravia.

How does conveyancing in Belgravia differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Belgravia come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Belgravia tend to 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Belgravia or who has acted in the same development.
