How does conveyancing in Wollaton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wollaton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Wollaton tend to 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 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 Wollaton or who has acted in the same development.

Almost all premises in Wollaton should show up. Have you limited your search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will reveal all the properties within that postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s bank.
