I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Manselton. What can I do to speed up matters?
First, If you are under pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and knowledge. It is possible that they could have transacted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Manselton conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Manselton conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by an average of three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Many Manselton conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only occur when the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Manselton or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Manselton.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

How does conveyancing in Manselton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Manselton come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Manselton 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Manselton or who has acted in the same development.
