Finally the sale completed on my house in Lechlade last May but our buyer keeps calling every few hours complaining that his conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

We're in Lechlade, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

How does conveyancing in Lechlade differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lechlade approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Lechlade usually 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Lechlade or who has acted in the same development.
