How does conveyancing in Upton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Upton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Upton typically buy the land, 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 Upton or who has acted in the same development.

My hope is to acquire a garden flat in Upton. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. Earlier today I was informed that the seller needs to forward the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why would my conveyancer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been in hold for the previous month…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Upton to discover Conveyancing in Upton in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the entire block - which is clearly preferable. You should check with your lawyer but it would appear that your lawyer is attempting to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated as a result of lack of insurance.
