I chose a Hale based firm for my conveyancing in Hale today. Going through the small print I seeI am on the hook for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose a web based firm offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Hale?

My grandson is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Hale with a home loan from Santander. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does conveyancing in Hale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hale contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Hale 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 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 Hale or who has acted in the same development.
