How does conveyancing in Harpenden differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Harpenden contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Harpenden tend to purchase the site, 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 Harpenden or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Harpenden is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Harpenden are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Harpenden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harpenden may determine 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 premises.

We are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Harpenden. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

A conveyancer would have to be very poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new contact details and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental fees and frustration. That should be your starting point.
