How does conveyancing in Royton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Royton approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Royton 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 conveyancers 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 Royton or who has acted in the same development.

Flying freeholds in Royton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Royton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 residence.

I am buying a ground floor maisonette in Royton. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance documents.
