How does conveyancing in Skellingthorpe differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Skellingthorpe approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Skellingthorpe tend to 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 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 Skellingthorpe or who has acted in the same development.

My wife and I hope to buy our first property in Skellingthorpe. Conveyancing practitioner already appointed. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.

You would be best advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent issues and recommend further investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of problems obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
