How does conveyancing in Watnall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Watnall approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Watnall usually 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 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 Watnall or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Watnall. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
At last I have had an offer on an maisonette in Watnall accepted, the owner does however have a tied purchase. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Watnall. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started with Nationwide?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Watnall conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
