We're in Ardwick, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is RBS , and our solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
How does conveyancing in Ardwick differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ardwick contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Ardwick tend to 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 Ardwick or who has acted in the same development.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Ardwick to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Ardwick
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Ardwick conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
