How does conveyancing in Calne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Calne approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Calne 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Calne or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Calne I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thetransaction prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Calne.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Calne should be the figure that you end up paying.
