How does conveyancing in Bulkington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bulkington approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Bulkington 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 Bulkington or who has acted in the same development.
I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Bulkington. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Bulkington do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.

My father-in-law mentioned that when selecting a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your mortgage company. I am new to the process but I have an AIP via Santander and I already have a bricks and morter conveyancing lawyer in Bulkington on standby. Does Nat West Bank insist on an approved conveyancer to be selected? Does a directory of approved solicitors even exist for my conveyancing in Bulkington?
You should use a solicitor that is on the Nat West Bank panel. Just ring your preferred Bulkington conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Nat West Bank panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of choices available to you here:
- Complete the deal with your preferred Bulkington conveyancer but Nat West Bank will undoubtedly appoint a conveyancer from their approved list. This will result in additional charges together with likely delay.
- Get a new solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the Nat West Bank panel of solicitors.
