How does conveyancing in Sneyd Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sneyd Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Sneyd Park 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Sneyd Park or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Sneyd Park prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Sneyd Park. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Sneyd Park to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
