How does conveyancing in Margate differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Margate contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Margate typically acquire the land, 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 Margate or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Margate in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Margate. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Margate especially if they are familiar with such properties in Margate.
