Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Cannock. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Cannock

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Cannock prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will not grant a loan on such a house.

I have finally had an offer on an maisonette in Cannock accepted, the seller does however have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Cannock. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?

It is normal to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Cannock conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with searches.
