How does conveyancing in Hornsey Rise differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Hornsey Rise come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Hornsey Rise tend to 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 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.

At last I have had an offer on an maisonette in Hornsey Rise agreed to, but there is a chain.

It is normal to have anxieties where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Hornsey Rise conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

In a hot market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.
