Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those conveyances that abort.

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be archived with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers.

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

Most buyers of new build property in South Petherton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in South Petherton 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 property lawyers 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 Petherton or who has acted in the same development.

I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in South Petherton it brings up numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the suitable solicitor for my move?

The preferential way of seeking a suitable conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so ask colleagues and relatives who have bought a property in South Petherton or the local estate agent or mortgage broker.

My husband and I have had DIP from TSB who indicated we could borrow up to £300k. At what point do we need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? South Petherton is where we plan to move to.

You can instruct a conveyancing practitioner now so that the property lawyer can open the ledger so they can do their ID checks etc. As and when you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit normally approximately £200. That should normally be after you have the loan offer from your lender and survey results, but if you want to speed matters you can start quicker albeit risking some money.
