How does conveyancing in Theale differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Theale contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Theale 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 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 Theale or who has acted in the same development.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Theale

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Theale conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
