How does conveyancing in Edwinstowe differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Edwinstowe approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Edwinstowe 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 Edwinstowe or who has acted in the same development.

Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold house in Edwinstowe. Conveyancing and mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Edwinstowe who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

You do not need to incur the fees of a Edwinstowe conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
