How does conveyancing in Ashford Kent differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ashford Kent approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Ashford Kent usually purchase 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 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ashford Kent or who has acted in the same development.

Almost all properties in Ashford Kent should show up. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should disclose all the properties within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s bank.
