How does conveyancing in Chadwell St Mary differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Chadwell St Mary approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Chadwell St Mary 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 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 Chadwell St Mary or who has acted in the same development.

I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Chadwell St Mary to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than a competitor’s?

We refuse to offer any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing practitioner in Chadwell St Mary for my home move. Can I review a firm’s complaints history with the profession’s regulator?

One may review documented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) determinations arising from investigations from 2008 onwards. Go to Check a solicitor's record. To find details Pre 2008, or to check a firm's history, ring 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am. For callers outside the UK, call +44 (0)121 329 6800. The regulator could monitor call for training reasons.

I am expecting to complete on the purchase a house in Chadwell St Mary but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of five thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however the lender will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

Any property lawyer being on the bank conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to the bank of any variations to the sale price. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to your bank then they would have no choice but to refrain from acting for you and the mortgage company.
