As far as conveyancing in Benfleet registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales.

How does conveyancing in Benfleet differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Benfleet approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Benfleet usually 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 Benfleet or who has acted in the same development.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Benfleet

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Benfleet conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.

What is the best way of identifying a reasonably priced conveyancing in Benfleet?

First ask the people you trust they would would instruct. Second, look on the internet for conveyancing in Benfleet. Call two or three from the list and request that they send you their conveyancing estimate and speak to the lawyer who will conduct your conveyancing before you commit.
