How does conveyancing in Heaviley and Offerton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Heaviley and Offerton come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Heaviley and Offerton usually acquire 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 Heaviley and Offerton or who has acted in the same development.

Where a Heaviley and Offerton property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal you would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the other proprietor is missing from the contract, ordinarily this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things smoother in the future you can arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
