Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in East Boldon who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Skipton Building Society.

How does conveyancing in East Boldon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in East Boldon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in East Boldon 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. 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in East Boldon or who has acted in the same development.
