The quickest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Shaftesbury conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Shaftesbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shaftesbury approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Shaftesbury 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 conveyancers 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 Shaftesbury or who has acted in the same development.
