How does conveyancing in South London differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in South London approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in South London tend to acquire 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 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 South London or who has acted in the same development.

Am I better off to choose a South London conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located 200miles drive away.

The benefit of a high street South London conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that should surpass using an unknown South London conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
