How does conveyancing in Mottingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Mottingham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Mottingham typically 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 property lawyers 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 Mottingham or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mottingham in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mottingham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Mottingham especially if they are familiar with such properties in Mottingham.
