Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Penrith and elsewhere in is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Penrith is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

How does conveyancing in Penrith differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Penrith approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Penrith usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Penrith or who has acted in the same development.
