How does conveyancing in Littleover differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Littleover contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Littleover tend to acquire 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 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 Littleover or who has acted in the same development.

Me and my partner are expecting to complete buying a property in Littleover but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of five thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the mortgage company will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancer listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any variations to the sale price. If you did not allow your property lawyer to report the reduction to your mortgage company then they would need to discontinue representing you and the bank.
