How does conveyancing in Navenby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Navenby come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Navenby usually acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Navenby or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Navenby conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
