How does conveyancing in Brentwood differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Brentwood come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Brentwood typically acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Brentwood or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Brentwood ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Brentwood. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
Our sealed bid on detached house in Brentwood has been agreed to, the vendor does nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, although it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Brentwood. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Brentwood conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Brentwood.
