How does conveyancing in Wimbledon differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Wimbledon come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Wimbledon 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 property lawyers 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 Wimbledon or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Wimbledon in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend not issue a loan on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wimbledon. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Wimbledon being more expensive?

Purchasing a new build property is completely different from the standard house purchase conveyancing in Wimbledon. Firstly sellers usually require contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a a great deal of pressure on your conveyancing practitioner to ensure all is in order. Furthermore new build properties often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Bank requirements are also more detailed. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
