How does conveyancing in Manningtree differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Manningtree contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Manningtree usually buy 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 Manningtree or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Manningtree is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Manningtree are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Manningtree you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Manningtree 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.

I have instructed a Manningtree conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be worried or is that standard with conveyancer?

We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. They should be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate strict conditions in relation to monies deposited on client account.
