Should conveyancers ask for money up-front for conveyancing in Rainham?

If you are buying a property in Rainham your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

How does conveyancing in Rainham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Rainham come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Rainham 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Rainham or who has acted in the same development.

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Rainham. All leases are individual and drafting errors can result in certain sections are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, The Mortgage Works, and Clydesdale all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
