How does conveyancing in Kirkby Lonsdale differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kirkby Lonsdale come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Kirkby Lonsdale usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kirkby Lonsdale or who has acted in the same development.

I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Kirkby Lonsdale to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over another?

We refuse to give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My cousin is purchasing a basement flat in Kirkby Lonsdale. He was given a quote by the solicitor connected to the selling agents and it came to £1385 . It was ten years ago I sold and purchased a property and the fee was £just under six hundred pounds. Have charges really gone up that much?
