How does conveyancing in Watnall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Watnall approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Watnall tend to buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Watnall or who has acted in the same development.

My partner and I plan to acquire our 1st property in Watnall. Conveyancing practitioner already instructed. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not needed as the property was only built 22 years ago.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent problems and recommend further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a full structural survey.
