When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Bellingham and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?

Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Bellingham you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bellingham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Bellingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Bellingham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Bellingham usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bellingham or who has acted in the same development.
