How does conveyancing in Linton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Linton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Linton tend to purchase 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 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 Linton or who has acted in the same development.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st house in Linton. Conveyancing practitioner already instructed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not necessary as the house is just 17 years old.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any signs of problems obtain a full structural survey.
