How does conveyancing in Sprowston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Sprowston approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Sprowston tend to 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 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 Sprowston or who has acted in the same development.

Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Sprowston conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
