A colleague pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Blackwood there may be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of anumerous of properties in Blackwood which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Blackwood should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when acquiring a house in Blackwood? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Blackwood?
Unless a previous acquisition of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Blackwood to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Blackwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Blackwood come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Blackwood typically 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 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 Blackwood or who has acted in the same development.
