How does conveyancing in Oadby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Oadby approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Oadby tend to buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Oadby or who has acted in the same development.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Oadby accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Oadby. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going with Nottingham?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Oadby conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Oadby.
