How does conveyancing in Cwmcarn differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cwmcarn contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Cwmcarn tend to acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cwmcarn or who has acted in the same development.

Is there a reason that Cwmcarn conveyancing fees are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?

Inevitably there is increased work involved in leasehold conveyancing. Cwmcarn has many leasehold properties. There is more paperwork involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
