How does conveyancing in Market Weighton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Market Weighton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Market Weighton usually buy 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 Market Weighton or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Market Weighton prior to appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Market Weighton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Market Weighton to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

My lawyers in Market Weighton have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
