After shopping around on the internet I have found a Stroud solicitor having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Stroud postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Stroud.
How does conveyancing in Stroud differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Stroud approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Stroud usually 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 Stroud or who has acted in the same development.
