Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to establish that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

How does conveyancing in Baguley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Baguley approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Baguley tend to acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Baguley or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Baguley prior to appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Baguley. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
