How does conveyancing in Sipson differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Sipson come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Sipson tend to 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 Sipson or who has acted in the same development.
Am I right to be suspicious that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Sipson conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be most helpful. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
