How does conveyancing in Castle Vale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Castle Vale approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Castle Vale usually buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Castle Vale or who has acted in the same development.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Castle Vale. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal given that all rents and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
