How does conveyancing in Horwich differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Horwich approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Horwich typically 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 Horwich or who has acted in the same development.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to use. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most banks have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your house move.
