How does conveyancing in Esher and Claygate differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Esher and Claygate approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Esher and Claygate 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 Esher and Claygate or who has acted in the same development.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Esher and Claygate
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Esher and Claygate conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
