How does conveyancing in Middlewich differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Middlewich come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Middlewich typically buy the site, 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 Middlewich or who has acted in the same development.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Middlewich. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will 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 unless 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
