How does conveyancing in Neasden differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Neasden contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Neasden usually buy 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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My aim is to purchase a garden flat in Neasden. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the owner, building insurance schedule.
