How does conveyancing in Winslow differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Winslow approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Winslow usually 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 Winslow or who has acted in the same development.

Am I better off to go with a Winslow conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the legal formalities however her office is 300miles away.

The benefit of a local Winslow conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unknown Winslow conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
