How does conveyancing in Newton Longville differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Newton Longville come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Newton Longville usually acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newton Longville or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Newton Longville conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.

The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too.
