How does conveyancing in Dymock differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Dymock contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Dymock usually acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Dymock or who has acted in the same development.

Fiveweeks into buying a residence in Dymock. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this impact the marketability of the house?
Dymock conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your solicitor.
