I have just started taking steps with a view to transferring my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let Leeds Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I got in contact with my previous Newton Ferrers conveyancing practitioner who who completed the conveyancing when I initially bought the premises. The fee calculation e-mailed to me of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

The vendors of the house we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing firm in Newton Ferrers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of arrangement is unusual in Newton Ferrers, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a big enough offer to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial benefit that your seller may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
How does conveyancing in Newton Ferrers differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Newton Ferrers approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Newton Ferrers usually 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 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 Newton Ferrers or who has acted in the same development.
