I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Capel St Mary. 95% of the flats have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Capel St Mary?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Capel St Mary conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Capel St Mary.

How does conveyancing in Capel St Mary differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Capel St Mary approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Capel St Mary usually purchase 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 Capel St Mary or who has acted in the same development.
