We are purchasing our first property. Our conveyancing practitioner has e-mailedto see if we wish to order extra conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we are clueless as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Netherne
The number and type of Netherne conveyancing searches depends primarily on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information the searches could provide. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that information. Should you be uncertain, ask the lawyer to recommend.
How does conveyancing in Netherne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Netherne approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Netherne 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 used to new build conveyancing in Netherne or who has acted in the same development.
