Various web forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Kempsey house deals. Is there any truth in this?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.
How does conveyancing in Kempsey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kempsey approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Kempsey typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kempsey or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Kempsey
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Kempsey conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
