How does conveyancing in Blakeney differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Blakeney contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Blakeney typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blakeney or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Blakeney ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on this type of home.
