How does conveyancing in Bushey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bushey contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Bushey usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bushey or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bushey is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bushey are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bushey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bushey may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
My husband and I plan to acquire our 1st property in Bushey. Conveyancing lawyer already instructed. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not needed as the property was only built 16 yrs ago.
You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built over a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation if relevant. Where there are any indications of problems seek a full structural survey.
