How does conveyancing in Yateley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Yateley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Yateley tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yateley or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Yateley before instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not give a mortgage on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Yateley.
