How does conveyancing in Uckfield differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Uckfield come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Uckfield tend to 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 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 Uckfield or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Uckfield ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Uckfield. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Uckfield especially if they are familiar with such properties in Uckfield.
