How does conveyancing in Grassendale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Grassendale come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Grassendale typically 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 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 Grassendale or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Grassendale
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Grassendale conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
