What does a local search inform me concerning the house my wife and I purchasing in Polesworth?
Polesworth conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for instance Onsearch The local search plays an important part in many a Polesworth conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic headings.
How does conveyancing in Polesworth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Polesworth contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Polesworth tend to 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 Polesworth or who has acted in the same development.

New build sellers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost £400 cheaper than my local Polesworth property lawyer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders often have lists of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should stick with your local Polesworth lawyer.
