Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Blakedown and elsewhere in is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Blakedown is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

How does conveyancing in Blakedown differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Blakedown contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Blakedown tend to buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Blakedown or who has acted in the same development.
