At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Cotgrave and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cotgrave you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Cotgrave)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Cotgrave differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Cotgrave contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Cotgrave tend to acquire 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 Cotgrave or who has acted in the same development.
