Due to complete my purchase in Wollaston next Thursday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company.

How does conveyancing in Wollaston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wollaston contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Wollaston 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 Wollaston or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Wollaston
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Wollaston conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
