How does conveyancing in Locksbottom differ for new build properties?

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

What can I do where I am dissatisfied with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out our conveyancing in Locksbottom?

That being said there is recourse where you were not happy with your conveyancing in Locksbottom. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a property lawyer to their regulator. If things still aren’t resolved you may consider getting in touch with the Legal Ombudsman.
