How does conveyancing in East Acton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in East Acton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in East Acton typically acquire 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 East Acton or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in East Acton in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a mortgage on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in East Acton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
