How does conveyancing in Hayling Island differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Hayling Island come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Hayling Island typically 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 conveyancers 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 Hayling Island or who has acted in the same development.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Hayling Island?

Conveyancing - in Hayling Island or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the vendor to fix the problems before you move in.
