What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Skegness?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Skegness and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Skegness should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer ahead of the other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

How does conveyancing in Skegness differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Skegness approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Skegness typically buy 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 conveyancers 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 Skegness or who has acted in the same development.
