How does conveyancing in Cranham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cranham 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 new home sellers in Cranham tend to purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cranham or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Cranham is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Cranham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cranham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cranham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My plan is to acquire a garden apartment in Cranham. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance documents. I was told today I was informed that the seller needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why does my conveyancing practitioner need to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it really required? We have been in hold for the last fortnight…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Cranham to find Conveyancing in Cranham in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is clearly better. Do contact your solicitor but it would appear that your property lawyer is attempting to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
