Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Seaburn conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative conducted the valuation? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

How does conveyancing in Seaburn differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Seaburn come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Seaburn tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Seaburn or who has acted in the same development.
