How does conveyancing in Maida Hill differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Maida Hill approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Maida Hill 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Maida Hill or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Maida Hill prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a loan on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Maida Hill. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Maida Hill to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
