I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Anlaby for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Anlaby differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Anlaby approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Anlaby tend to 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 conveyancers 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 Anlaby or who has acted in the same development.

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
