The fact that your lawyer is on the conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Narborough. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Narborough?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

How does conveyancing in Narborough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Narborough approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Narborough tend to purchase 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Narborough or who has acted in the same development.
