How does conveyancing in Shanklin differ for newly converted properties?

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

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Shanklin prior to instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to issue a loan on this type of home.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Shanklin

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Shanklin conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.

I'm selling a flat in Shanklin. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?

Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
