I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years built) in Maesteg. Almost all the flats have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Maesteg?
Conveyancing Searches are a critical link in the Maesteg conveyancing process. There are a large number of search providers who offer Maesteg conveyancing searches, as well direct from local authority. These are generally termed personal search organisation and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authority.
How does conveyancing in Maesteg differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Maesteg come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Maesteg typically buy 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 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 Maesteg or who has acted in the same development.
My father-in-law has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Maesteg. Should I find my own property lawyer?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to seek guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the solicitor that you are considering.
