How does conveyancing in Linton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Linton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Linton usually acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Linton or who has acted in the same development.

The solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Linton has forwarded documents to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Linton are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Linton that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Linton property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Linton conveyancing practitioners should be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the usual proposition presently is for the seller to register the title first and subsequently sell - this this chain of events will result in a protracted home move.
