How does conveyancing in Ilfracombe differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ilfracombe come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Ilfracombe usually purchase 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 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 Ilfracombe or who has acted in the same development.

We don’t make any commission for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My father-in-law has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancers in Ilfracombe. Should I find my own property lawyer?

There are a lot of properties in Ilfracombe on private roads. We are acquiring one such property. Are there any benefits to purchasing a property on a privately owned road?

Ilfracombe conveyancing firms are familiar with transacting houseson private. Your property lawyer should review the title to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a residents association that owners make annual contributions to maintain the road. Where one exists, the road should be maintained and appear better than publicly maintained.
