As someone not used to conveyancing in Walton what’s the number one tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Walton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Walton or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Walton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way.

You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

How does conveyancing in Walton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Walton approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Walton 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Walton or who has acted in the same development.
