Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Ruddington you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

How does conveyancing in Ruddington differ for new build properties?

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