How does conveyancing in Ottershaw differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Ottershaw come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Ottershaw typically 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 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 Ottershaw or who has acted in the same development.

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Ottershaw.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a case number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Ottershaw should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

My mother purchased her house in Ottershaw ten years past. She has been married, divorced and has recently remarried. She wishes to sell the house next summer. I believe she will simply be need to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner but she is worried it could frustrate the sale of the property. Is it worth updating the Land Registry documents for the house?

It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property providing you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name resulted.

Any buyer’s solicitor will check the land registry entries and require evidence by way of proof of the name change for example marriage documentation.
