How does conveyancing in Finchampstead differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Finchampstead approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Finchampstead typically purchase 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 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 Finchampstead or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Finchampstead is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Finchampstead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Finchampstead you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Finchampstead may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.

I have been advised by a few selling agents in Finchampstead to find a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers rather than another?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
