How does conveyancing in Babbacombe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Babbacombe come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Babbacombe tend to buy 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 Babbacombe or who has acted in the same development.

New build sellers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've obtained a quote from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my local Babbacombe conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Builders normally have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended solicitor is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder.
