It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in New Mills completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

How does conveyancing in New Mills differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in New Mills contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in New Mills typically buy the real estate, 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 New Mills or who has acted in the same development.

I was advised by a number of estate agents in New Mills to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in New Mills

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred New Mills conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
