How does conveyancing in Radlett differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Radlett come to 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 Radlett usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Radlett or who has acted in the same development.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Radlett to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Radlett. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
They would need to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to inform them of the new contact details and get the offer are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks panel to avoid escalating costs and delays. That should be your first question of the new solicitors. The find a solicitor tool should assist you in finding a lender approved lawyer for your home move in Radlett
