However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in West Brompton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in West Brompton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in West Brompton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in West Brompton usually 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in West Brompton or who has acted in the same development.
