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

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Clarbeston Road from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Clarbeston Road can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. Some Clarbeston Road leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Clarbeston Road conveyancing transaction. If a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Clarbeston Road leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor first.
