I have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Branston for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Branston conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Branston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Branston come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Branston usually acquire 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Branston or who has acted in the same development.
