As someone not used to the Wennington conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Wennington
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Wennington and elsewhere in London is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially a bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Wennington is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

How does conveyancing in Wennington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wennington come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Wennington 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wennington or who has acted in the same development.
