I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Frant. What can I do to speed up matters?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local connections and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted previoushouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Frant conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that nearly one in five of Frant conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home sales every year. Almost all Frant conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

How does conveyancing in Frant differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Frant contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Frant 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Frant or who has acted in the same development.
