It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Brunswick Park. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Brunswick Park involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Brunswick Park?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Brunswick Park. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Brunswick Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brunswick Park contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Brunswick Park 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 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 Brunswick Park or who has acted in the same development.
