When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Moreton and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Moreton you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Moreton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch.

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