How does conveyancing in Manor Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Manor Park approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Manor Park 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Manor Park or who has acted in the same development.

I have just started marketing my basement flat in Manor Park. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
