How does conveyancing in Farnham Common differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Farnham Common come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Farnham Common usually buy the real estate, 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 Farnham Common or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Farnham Common prior to retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Farnham Common. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Some weeks ago I was advised by my mortgage company that their panel solicitors work on no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Farnham Common. Our purchase did not proceed yet the solicitors want search fees! They are claiming that the fees are seperate!

in offering "no completion no fee" Farnham Common conveyancing lawyers are waiving their charges for any work carried out. We must stress this is NOT an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the conveyancing practitioner have to pay money out to third parties, for instance Farnham Common local search fees
