How does conveyancing in Martlesham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Martlesham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Martlesham typically 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 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 Martlesham or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Martlesham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Martlesham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Martlesham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Martlesham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.

The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Martlesham has forwarded papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all houses in Martlesham should be registered?

Although most properties in Martlesham are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Martlesham that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Martlesham 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 Martlesham conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty prevails the conventional recommendation these days appears to be for the seller to address the registration formalities first and subsequently sell - this will have a domino effect to result in a significant delay.
