How does conveyancing in Castle Vale differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Castle Vale contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Castle Vale typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Castle Vale or who has acted in the same development.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Castle Vale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title.
