How does conveyancing in Bermondsey differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bermondsey come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Bermondsey typically 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bermondsey or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bermondsey in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bermondsey.
