I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Sandhurst. What can I do to expedite matters?
First, If you are under a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and know-how. It is possible that they could have transacted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Sandhurst conveyancing firm. In addition, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is understood that nearly one in five of Sandhurst conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Sandhurst conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

How does conveyancing in Sandhurst differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Sandhurst approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Sandhurst typically buy 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 conveyancers 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 Sandhurst or who has acted in the same development.
