How does conveyancing in Tewkesbury differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tewkesbury come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Tewkesbury usually buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tewkesbury or who has acted in the same development.

The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Tewkesbury should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Am I better off to use a Tewkesbury conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities but they are based a couple of hundredmiles away.

The benefit of a local Tewkesbury conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Tewkesbury know how is a plus. 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 the majority were impressed that must trump using an unknown Tewkesbury conveyancing lawyer just because they are Tewkesbury based.
