How does conveyancing in Handforth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Handforth contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Handforth usually buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Handforth or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my garden flat in Handforth. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you discharge the invoice as usual as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
