How does conveyancing in Verwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Verwood contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Verwood 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Verwood or who has acted in the same development.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I pay a service charge for my property in Verwood. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a clearance plan but there remains around £2000 outstanding as of today.
I am under pressure to sell and I am panicking this may hold me back if I have to pay off the arrears first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the debt from the completion monies - is this possible?
It would be wise to speak with the property lawyer dealing with your Verwood conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be attributed to the purchasers. The purchase price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then discharge the arrears once they are the owners.
