How does conveyancing in Haxby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Haxby come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Haxby typically 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 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 Haxby or who has acted in the same development.

My partner and I plan to purchase our 1st house in Haxby. Conveyancing practitioner has been chosen. The broker suggested that a survey is not necessary as the house was only constructed twenty two years ago.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest further investigation where appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
