How does conveyancing in Newport Pagnell differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Newport Pagnell come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Newport Pagnell usually acquire 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 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 Newport Pagnell or who has acted in the same development.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Newport Pagnell - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
