How does conveyancing in Malpas differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Malpas come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Malpas usually buy 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 Malpas or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Malpas before instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Malpas. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Malpas and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

We recently become aware that one of the directors of the law firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Malpas is is the father of the vendor. Is this allowed?

As long as there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. If you are needing a mortgage then the bank may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions concerning this. For example for RBS- First Active as of 20/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No, your firm may not act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower. However, your firm may act if a separate fee earner or separate partner within the firm acts for us.
