How does conveyancing in Billingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Billingham contact 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 Billingham 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 Billingham or who has acted in the same development.

Billingham conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
