Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Winterton.

How does conveyancing in Winterton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Winterton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Winterton tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winterton or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Winterton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Winterton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Winterton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Winterton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer in Winterton for my remortgage. Is it possible to review a firm’s complaints history with the profession’s regulator?
