How does conveyancing in Cheadle Hulme differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Cheadle Hulme approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Cheadle Hulme 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 Cheadle Hulme or who has acted in the same development.

This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the freeholder. In some cases a specialist should be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located.
