This is because builders in Clophill 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.

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 Clophill or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Clophill

Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Clophill conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
