It’s unusual for properties in Thurmaston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Thurmaston but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

How does conveyancing in Thurmaston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Thurmaston contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Thurmaston usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Thurmaston or who has acted in the same development.

We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
