How does conveyancing in Cwmcarn differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cwmcarn approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Cwmcarn tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cwmcarn or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Cwmcarn before instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not issue a loan on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Cwmcarn. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Cwmcarn especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Cwmcarn.

The majority of conveyancing practitioners tend to fill out a stamp duty return on your behalf as part of your Cwmcarn conveyancing transaction for signature. On completion your property lawyer will submit the STL Return Form to the Tax Authorities and - assuming they have the funds - pay any tax bill liability for you.
