Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in North Yorkshire. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

    Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

We have an offer in principle from Nationwide Building Society who said that they will loan up to £300k. When do we need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? North Yorkshire is where we plan to move to.

It would be wise to appoint a property lawyer now and ask them to create a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to submit the draft agreement. However, do not ask your conveyancing practitioner to order searches until you have your valuation report via Nationwide Building Society and you are happy to move forward.
