How does conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Chalfont St Peter approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Chalfont St Peter typically 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 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 Chalfont St Peter or who has acted in the same development.

New build sellers have suggested I use a conveyancer and I've received a quote from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my family Chalfont St Peter conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Developers often have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Chalfont St Peter conveyancer.
