How does conveyancing in Kettering differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Kettering 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 builders in Kettering tend to purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kettering or who has acted in the same development.

They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Kettering conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
