At what point does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Navenby and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Navenby you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, 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 Navenby)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

How does conveyancing in Navenby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Navenby approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Navenby tend to purchase 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 Navenby or who has acted in the same development.
