How does conveyancing in Penylan differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Penylan approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Penylan 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Penylan or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Penylan before instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Penylan. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Penylan to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
