The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Lichfield conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Lichfield differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Lichfield contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Lichfield 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 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 Lichfield or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Lichfield in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lichfield. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Lichfield to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
