How does conveyancing in Audley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Audley contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Audley tend to buy the site, 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 Audley or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Audley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Audley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
