How does conveyancing in Tiverton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tiverton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Tiverton tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tiverton or who has acted in the same development.
Should I be suspicious that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Tiverton conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend conveyancers to instruct. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
