How does conveyancing in Freshwater Bay differ for new build properties?

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

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Freshwater Bay in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Freshwater Bay.
