How does conveyancing in Breaston differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Breaston come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Breaston usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in Breaston or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Breaston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Breaston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Breaston which is to be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is completed before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?

In the situation you refer to it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
