Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wootton conveyancing searches.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Wootton what’s your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Wootton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wootton and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Wootton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a definite emergence of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer above the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
How does conveyancing in Wootton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wootton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Wootton tend to purchase the site, 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 Wootton or who has acted in the same development.
