How does conveyancing in Lampeter differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Lampeter contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Lampeter typically acquire the site, 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 Lampeter or who has acted in the same development.

My sealed bid on property in Lampeter has been accepted, the seller does nevertheless have an associated purchase. The current proprietors have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Lampeter. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS started with RBS?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Lampeter conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Lampeter.
