Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Barnsbury?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Barnsbury will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Barnsbury. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Barnsbury.

The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Barnsbury commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Barnsbury.
How does conveyancing in Barnsbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Barnsbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Barnsbury 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 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 Barnsbury or who has acted in the same development.

Developers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've received an estimate from them. It's almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my own Barnsbury property lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers normally have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Barnsbury conveyancing practitioner.
