My best friend’s step-father is a conveyancing practitioner. I anticipate that I'll be able to get preferential pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Nelson?

We have very pushy sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of contract isn't frequently used in Nelson, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the seller has signed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive sufficient offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that your vendor may secure by reneging on the agreement, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.

How does conveyancing in Nelson differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Nelson come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Nelson typically purchase 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 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 Nelson or who has acted in the same development.
