How does conveyancing in Shotton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shotton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Shotton 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Shotton or who has acted in the same development.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Shotton. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
