How does conveyancing in Ryde differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ryde come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Ryde typically 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 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 Ryde or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Ryde ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not issue a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ryde. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Ryde especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Ryde.
My step-father has suggested that I appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Ryde. Should I find my own property lawyer?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Ryde conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to select a conveyancing solicitor is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the solicitor that you are contemplating using.
My fiance is buying a shared ownership flat in Ryde. He was given a quote by the solicitor connected to the estate agents and it came to £1300 . It was 9 years ago I sold and purchased a house and it cost was £450. Have charges really escalated to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Ryde searches, land registry fees, etc)
