I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Romney and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Romney lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Romney. We have lived in Romney for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

How does conveyancing in Romney differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Romney approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Romney usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in Romney or who has acted in the same development.
