How does conveyancing in East Croydon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in East Croydon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in East Croydon usually buy 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 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 East Croydon or who has acted in the same development.
Should I be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street East Croydon conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to choose. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
