How does conveyancing in Abercarn differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Abercarn come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Abercarn tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Abercarn or who has acted in the same development.

In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the replacement lawyer and get the mortgage documents are re-issued.

I have just placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Abercarn and the broker that we are using suggested his property lawyer. He quoted nine hundred pounds including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound like a good deal?
Don't just go on 1 estimate. You should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Abercarn. Then choose one that you are comfortable with and just as important, is on the approved panel of the mortgage company that you have applied for a mortgage from.
