How does conveyancing in South Harrow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in South Harrow contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in South Harrow tend to acquire the real estate, 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 South Harrow or who has acted in the same development.

Even though your previous South Harrow conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

The vast majority of premises in South Harrow should be revealed. Have you limited your search with just the postcode. Normally it will disclose all the properties inside that postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s bank.
