How does conveyancing in Westbourne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Westbourne approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Westbourne 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Westbourne or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Westbourne is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Westbourne may determine 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 premises.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Westbourne
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Westbourne conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
