I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years old) in Tewkesbury. The vast majority the flats have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Tewkesbury?

How does conveyancing in Tewkesbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tewkesbury approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Tewkesbury usually buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tewkesbury or who has acted in the same development.

You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My intention is to acquire a garden maisonette in Tewkesbury. Conveyancing lawyer has been waiting for, from the seller, building insurance schedule.
