How does conveyancing in Claverdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Claverdon contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Claverdon usually acquire 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 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 Claverdon or who has acted in the same development.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Claverdon to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above a competitor’s?

I own a leasehold house in Claverdon. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Claverdon who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Claverdon conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
