How does conveyancing in Edwinstowe differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Edwinstowe approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Edwinstowe usually buy the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Edwinstowe or who has acted in the same development.

Builders have put forward a lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my own Edwinstowe property lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers often have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they require an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the recommended lawyer is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Edwinstowe conveyancing practitioner.
