How does conveyancing in Widdrington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Widdrington contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Widdrington typically acquire the site, 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 Widdrington or who has acted in the same development.

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend solicitors to retain. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many lenders have an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.
My sister completed her conveyancing in Widdrington ten years past. She has since got married, widowed and is now remarried. She intends to market the house in a few months. I think she will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage papers to the property lawyer but she is anxious it could delay the house sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the property?
The is no need to bring up to date the title for the property providing you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.
Any buyer’s property lawyer will review the title details and require evidence to establish the name change for instance marriage certificates.
