How does conveyancing in Castleton and Blacktown differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Castleton and Blacktown contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Castleton and Blacktown usually buy 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.

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 Castleton and Blacktown or who has acted in the same development.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Castleton and Blacktown?
Conveyancing - in Castleton and Blacktown or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects before you complete your move.
