How does conveyancing in Booker differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Booker approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Booker typically acquire the land, 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 Booker or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Booker ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Booker. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Booker to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
