How does conveyancing in Fulham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fulham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Fulham tend to 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 Fulham or who has acted in the same development.
How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Fulham based conveyancer who is on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?
If you haven't yet appointed a conveyancer to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Fulham that you're considering.
