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

Myself and my fiance have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Monday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have asked the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?
Ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a solicitor in Henlow on the approved list for the Post Office.
