In reviewing online forums for an affordable solicitor in Alperton, most advise that I should use a CQS assured lawyer. What is CQS?

How does conveyancing in Alperton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Alperton contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Alperton typically 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 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 Alperton or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Alperton before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will not issue a mortgage on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Alperton. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Alperton especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Alperton.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Alperton
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Alperton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
