Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Bamburgh?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Bamburgh.

How does conveyancing in Bamburgh differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bamburgh approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Bamburgh 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 Bamburgh or who has acted in the same development.
