How does conveyancing in Garston differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Garston approach 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 Garston usually acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Garston or who has acted in the same development.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Garston

It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Garston conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
