How does conveyancing in Dartmouth Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dartmouth Park approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Dartmouth Park 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 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 Dartmouth Park or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Dartmouth Park. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as usual because all rents and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Why is New Build conveyancing in Dartmouth Park more expensive?
Buying a brand new home is significantly different from the standard house buying conveyancing in Dartmouth Park. For a start sellers usually demand contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a lot of pressure on your solicitor to ensure all is in order. Furthermore new build premises frequently involve the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage lender obligations are also more demanding. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
