How does conveyancing in Harlech differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Harlech contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Harlech 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Harlech or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Harlech is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Harlech are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Harlech you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harlech 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.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Harlech
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Harlech conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
