How does conveyancing in Malpas differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Malpas come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Malpas usually purchase 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 Malpas or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Malpas is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Malpas are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Malpas you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Malpas may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Malpas being more expensive?
Acquiring a brand new home is completely different from the standard house purchase conveyancing in Malpas. Firstly housebuilders normally need contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, so there is a lot of pressure on your solicitor to ensure all is in order. In addition new build properties often involve examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Bank obligations are also more demanding. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
