I am thinking of refinancing my home in Geddington, does my lawyer need to be on the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
How does conveyancing in Geddington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Geddington come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Geddington typically purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Geddington or who has acted in the same development.
