The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Bradmore. Plenty of people will buy a property in Bradmore, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises.

How does conveyancing in Bradmore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bradmore come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Bradmore 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 Bradmore or who has acted in the same development.
