Most buyers of new build residence in Debenham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Debenham tend to purchase the land, 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.

It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Debenham or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Debenham
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Debenham conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
