I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out flat in Bridport by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your letting unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, contact to your conveyancer and ask them to they cajole the owners side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look to achieve
How does conveyancing in Bridport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bridport approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Bridport tend to purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bridport or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Bridport prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bridport. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
