How does conveyancing in Snettisham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Snettisham approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Snettisham tend to acquire the real estate, 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 Snettisham or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Snettisham
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Snettisham conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a bungalow in Snettisham which will be marketed. The property is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is done before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
