How does conveyancing in Shipley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shipley approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders 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’m about to sell my garden apartment in Shipley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal because all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
