As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Rothwell?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Rothwell or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Rothwell should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

How does conveyancing in Rothwell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Rothwell contact 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 Rothwell 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 conveyancers 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 Rothwell or who has acted in the same development.
