How does conveyancing in Mumbles differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Mumbles approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Mumbles tend to 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 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 Mumbles or who has acted in the same development.

Mumbles conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.

The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was built over a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation where appropriate. If there are any signs of problems get a full structural survey.
