A signed contract is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Crediton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Crediton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Crediton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Crediton typically purchase the land, 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 Crediton or who has acted in the same development.
