Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Maidstone.
How does conveyancing in Maidstone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Maidstone approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Maidstone usually acquire the real estate, 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 Maidstone or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Maidstone is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Maidstone are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Maidstone you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Maidstone may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Do Maidstone conveyancing companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for my own conveyancing?
