How does conveyancing in Shipley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Shipley come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Shipley usually 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 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 Shipley or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Shipley in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Shipley. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
