After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Bodmin agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bodmin. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Bodmin conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Bodmin.

How does conveyancing in Bodmin differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bodmin approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Bodmin typically buy 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 Bodmin or who has acted in the same development.
