How does conveyancing in Chipping Sodbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Chipping Sodbury approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Chipping Sodbury typically acquire the site, 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 Chipping Sodbury or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Chipping Sodbury to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
