How does conveyancing in Warfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Warfield approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Warfield tend to acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Warfield or who has acted in the same development.

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Warfield conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
