How does conveyancing in Ingatestone differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ingatestone come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Ingatestone usually purchase 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 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 Ingatestone or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on a property in Ingatestone I wish to talk to a lawyer concerning theconveyancing in advance of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Ingatestone.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a matter reference.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Ingatestone. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Ingatestone - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Ingatestone Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    How much is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the property? Is the freehold reversion owned jointly by the leaseholders? This information is helpful as a) areas could result in problems in the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where services are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will need to have full disclosure

My conveyancers in Ingatestone have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
