How does conveyancing in Ledbury differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Ledbury contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Ledbury tend to buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ledbury or who has acted in the same development.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices should be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
