You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Treorchy or throughout Abercynon is an adversarial experience.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor above all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

How does conveyancing in Treorchy differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Treorchy contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Treorchy typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Treorchy or who has acted in the same development.
