How does conveyancing in Old Oak Common differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Old Oak Common come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Old Oak Common usually 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 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 Old Oak Common or who has acted in the same development.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Old Oak Common. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual as all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
