How does conveyancing in Oldland differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Oldland come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Oldland typically buy 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 Oldland or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Oldland prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can look into this further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Oldland. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
