How does conveyancing in Hermon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Hermon contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Hermon 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hermon or who has acted in the same development.

22 days into purchasing a property in Hermon. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this impact our Santander valuation?
Hermon conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
