How does conveyancing in West Wickham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in West Wickham contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in West Wickham usually buy 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 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 West Wickham or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in West Wickham

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted West Wickham conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
