How does conveyancing in Southville differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Southville contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Southville tend to acquire the site, 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 Southville or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Southville is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Southville are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Southville you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southville may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend conveyancers to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
