How does conveyancing in Seven Sisters differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Seven Sisters contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Seven Sisters typically acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Seven Sisters or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my basement flat in Seven Sisters. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
