I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Seaforth with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may impact a commercial estate in Seaforth?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Seaforth will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Seaforth. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Seaforth.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Seaforth it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Seaforth commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Seaforth.
How does conveyancing in Seaforth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Seaforth contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Seaforth tend to acquire the land, 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 Seaforth or who has acted in the same development.
