How does conveyancing in Moor Row differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Moor Row contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Moor Row typically purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Moor Row or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Moor Row from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Moor Row can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. A minority of Moor Row leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Moor Row leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. Should you fail to have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Organising a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and delays many a Moor Row home move. If a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible.
