How does conveyancing in Cyncoed differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Cyncoed come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Cyncoed usually 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cyncoed or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cyncoed in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on this type of premises.

We are in the process of buying a home in Cyncoed. Conveyancing is not over but we would like keep our purchase price a secret from the likes of Zoopla. How do I ensure this is not noted?
HMLR are legally required to note price paid information on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide which includes premises in Cyncoed. The register of title is an open document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law excluded certain properties such as your one in Cyncoed.
In essence you can ask the Land Registry to withhold the amount paid data yet the answer would be in the negative.
