How does conveyancing in Baldock differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Baldock approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Baldock tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Baldock or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Baldock
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Baldock conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
