I need some quick conveyancing in Fulham as I am faced with an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line within 4 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are are a cash buyer you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Fulham the following are examples of what can appear and therefore affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

How does conveyancing in Fulham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fulham approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Fulham typically buy 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 conveyancers 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 Fulham or who has acted in the same development.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in Fulham to find a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
