How does conveyancing in Cheshire differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cheshire contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Cheshire typically 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cheshire or who has acted in the same development.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My intention is to acquire a ground floor maisonette in Cheshire. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance schedule.
