How does conveyancing in Shiremoor differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Shiremoor come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Shiremoor typically purchase 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shiremoor or who has acted in the same development.

You need to be pragmatic about timing. Conveyancing in Shiremoor usually takes about ten weeks. This time period is not because conveyancer are slow and willfully delay matters. The amount of money involved in buying any property is so high, the purchaser's conveyancer needing to raise a wide range of questions, searches and further checks to protect the purchaser and their lender (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Shiremoor involves obtaining information from various different parties, for example other conveyancer, local councils, private companies, mortgage companies. Some of these are well organised. Plenty aren't.
