Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Tiverton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically.

How does conveyancing in Tiverton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Tiverton approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Tiverton usually buy 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 Tiverton or who has acted in the same development.
