How does conveyancing in Kinver differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Kinver approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Kinver 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 conveyancers 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 Kinver or who has acted in the same development.

Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Kinver conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
