How does conveyancing in Dorking differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Dorking contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Dorking usually acquire 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. 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 Dorking or who has acted in the same development.

I'm converting the mortgage on my primary house to a buy to let loan with Coventry Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on another house. The area we are looking at is Dorking. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of lenders and link together the two deals?

Make use of our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are the lawyer will be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make apparent your expectations and requirements.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Dorking

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Dorking conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
