If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Linslade conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Linslade.

How does conveyancing in Linslade differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Linslade contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Linslade 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Linslade or who has acted in the same development.

If so you need to make them aware of the new conveyancer and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the banks panel to avoid added costs and delays. So that should be your starting point. The search tool should assist you in finding a bank approved solicitor for your home move in Linslade
