How does conveyancing in St Anns differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in St Anns come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in St Anns usually acquire the site, 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 St Anns or who has acted in the same development.

Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred St Anns conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
