How does conveyancing in Stocksfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Stocksfield approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Stocksfield typically buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stocksfield or who has acted in the same development.

The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees have control and although a managing agent is usually retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.

This may be anything from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a significant amount, say around £50-£100 but you should to enquire it because occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive.
