I have recentlybeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Haverhill for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Haverhill conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Haverhill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Haverhill come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Haverhill 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 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 Haverhill or who has acted in the same development.
