We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in North Walsham.

How does conveyancing in North Walsham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in North Walsham contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in North Walsham usually 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 conveyancers 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 North Walsham or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in North Walsham
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted North Walsham conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
