Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Rugby?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Rugby. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Rugby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rugby approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Rugby typically acquire 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 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 Rugby or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Rugby, and are now looking to get solicitors instructed. We have used the different rating based websites and the results are from all across the the UK. Is it critical to have a Rugby lawyer local to the potential property? We are willing to do everything electronically, but I guess at some stage we may need to visit the solicitor's office to sign documents?
On the whole there is no requirement to attend the office of your conveyancer, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers nevertheless opt to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not essential for conveyancing in Rugby.
