How does conveyancing in Mossley differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Mossley contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Mossley typically buy 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 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 Mossley or who has acted in the same development.

• Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Mossley can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Mossley home move. Where a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.

It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Mossley.
