How does conveyancing in Salisbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Salisbury 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 developers in Salisbury tend to purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Salisbury or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Salisbury ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Salisbury to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above another?
We don’t make any referral fee for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Salisbury being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our lender?
We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Salisbury conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Salisbury knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
