How does conveyancing in Ashton under Lyne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ashton under Lyne come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Ashton under Lyne typically buy 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.

Any lawyer that is on the mortgage company approved list is obliged to inform the lender of any variations to the sale figure. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would have to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the lender.
