As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Abersoch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Abersoch approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Abersoch tend to purchase the land, 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 Abersoch or who has acted in the same development.
