How does conveyancing in Heddon On The Wall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Heddon On The Wall contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Heddon On The Wall tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Heddon On The Wall or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Heddon On The Wall. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
