How does conveyancing in Tetbury differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Tetbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Tetbury usually 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 Tetbury or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Tetbury prior to retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Tetbury.

I have been recommended by a couple of local estate agents in Tetbury to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of another?

We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Tetbury

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Tetbury conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
