How does conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Ashby de la Zouch come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Ashby de la Zouch 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch or who has acted in the same development.

I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996.

You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
