How does conveyancing in Onslow Village differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Onslow Village contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Onslow Village 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Onslow Village or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Onslow Village prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on this type of property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Onslow Village.
