How does conveyancing in Henbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Henbury come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Henbury tend to purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Henbury or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Henbury in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a mortgage on such a premises.

Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Henbury.

Builders have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my own Henbury conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Developers often have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they require an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Henbury solicitor.
