How does conveyancing in Eye differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Eye approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Eye tend to acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Eye or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Eye ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not grant a mortgage on such a house.

Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Eye. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Eye especially if they are familiar with such properties in Eye.
Do I stop the direct debit for my mortgage with Co-operative once a completion date for my home sale in Eye has been set?
