When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Marple and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?

However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marple)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Marple differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Marple contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Marple tend to acquire the site, 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 Marple or who has acted in the same development.

It best that you pay the invoice as normal given that all rents and service charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
