How does conveyancing in Bridgwater differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bridgwater contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Bridgwater tend to acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bridgwater or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Bridgwater
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Bridgwater conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
