How does conveyancing in Niton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Niton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Niton typically buy 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 Niton or who has acted in the same development.

Should one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a house in Niton?
If a Niton property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a disposal you would just be asked to supply proof as to the reason the joint owner is not a party to the contract, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making things smoother in the future you can apply to have the deceased party erased from the title register by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
