You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Somerton or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially the lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Somerton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Somerton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in September.

How does conveyancing in Somerton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Somerton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Somerton usually buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Somerton or who has acted in the same development.
