How does conveyancing in Liskeard differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Liskeard contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Liskeard 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Liskeard or who has acted in the same development.
I have been recommended by three or four local selling agents in Liskeard to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My cousin has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Liskeard. Should I find my own conveyancer?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Liskeard conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have experience in using the solicitor you're considering.

The best form of lease structure is where the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this scenario the tenants benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Who is in charge of the block? Best to be warned if fixing the lift or some other major work is due shortly that will be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will materially impact the level of the service fees or necessitate a one time invoice.
