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

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Wollaston
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Wollaston conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
