When will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Bedford Hill and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Bedford Hill you are invited in to sign contracts.

The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Hill)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

How does conveyancing in Bedford Hill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bedford Hill approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Bedford Hill tend to purchase 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 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 Bedford Hill or who has acted in the same development.
