You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease.

How does conveyancing in Bubwith differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bubwith approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Bubwith tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bubwith or who has acted in the same development.

You would be well advised to commission a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be enough. They will highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues seek a full structural survey.
