At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Bloxwich and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Bloxwich you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bloxwich)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
How does conveyancing in Bloxwich differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bloxwich come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Bloxwich tend to buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bloxwich or who has acted in the same development.
