My father advised me that in buying a property in Wilford there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external changes to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Wilford which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Wilford should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

Our offer on a property in Wilford has been accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Wilford. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Wilford conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

How does conveyancing in Wilford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Wilford approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Wilford 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 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 Wilford or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wilford is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

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