How does conveyancing in Maldon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Maldon come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Maldon 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 Maldon or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Maldon is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Maldon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Maldon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Maldon may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a property in Cardiff but live in Maldon. My conveyancer (who is 250 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Maldon based
We have been advised by numerous estate agents that it should take six to eight weeks for Maldon conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The property information was only forwarded to my conveyancer a couple of days ago so does the time start running now?
Six to 8 weeks is an extremely rough timescale. Giving assurances as to precisely how long Maldon conveyancing will take is virtually impossible. Without fail every property has it’s bespoke set of concerns. Accordingly your solicitor should find it difficult to guarantee an exact timeframe to conclude conveyancing in Maldon.
