What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Ventnor
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Ventnor conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

How does conveyancing in Ventnor differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ventnor come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Ventnor 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 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 Ventnor or who has acted in the same development.
