I am purchasing a brand new duplex in Haslingden and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I have no desire to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Haslingden?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Haslingden. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Haslingden differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Haslingden approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Haslingden tend to buy 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 property lawyers 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 Haslingden or who has acted in the same development.
