It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Colliers Wood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Colliers Wood contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Colliers Wood usually acquire 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 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 Colliers Wood or who has acted in the same development.
