How does conveyancing in St Anns differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in St Anns come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in St Anns usually 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 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 St Anns or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. St Anns is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in St Anns are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in St Anns you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Anns 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 residence.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor used to conveyancing in St Anns

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred St Anns conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
