Expert Legal Work in Southampton for a brand new home.

Conveyancer Dawn Thomas applied all her years of experience of handling Conveyancing in Southampton on the acquisition of a new-build home for Mr and Mrs M in 2010. They had found this newly finished property on the development at Townhill Way, Southampton, Hampshire SO18 3AE constructed by Foreman Homes Ltd.

Conveyancing Solicitors Coffin Mew of 22 Kings Park Road, Southampton, SO15 2UF acted for the developers, and sent Dawn a contract pack. She checked that this included a copy of the proposed transfer deed as well as a proper plot plan which would satisfy the land registry’s latest requirements. She also confirmed that a copy of the planning permission for the estate had been supplied.

As part of Conveyancing in Southampton on new houses it is essential that the builder will supply a warranty issued by a body such as the NHBC (National House-Building Council). This provides a guarantee against defective building work, and extends for a period of ten years from completion. Mortgage lenders now require this protection for all newly built dwellings, and even if a client is paying cash it is still considered essential to have the benefit of such a warranty as it will be required if there is a sale within the ten-year period.

The NHBC and Conveyancing

Dawn obtained confirmation that NHBC buildmark cover was being provided. She also asked the other Conveyancing Solicitors to include a provision in the contract for the building completion certificate to be issued prior to legal completion taking place. This was required because the mortgage advance could not be drawn down until it had been issued.

A disclosure of incentives form also had to be provided, which is another requirement of mortgage lenders and therefore an essential part of Conveyancing in Southampton for new-build properties.

Once the terms of the contract were agreed and the clients had received confirmation of their mortgage offer Dawn completed this Conveyancing in Southampton and obtained the transfer deed and buildmark forms. An application was then made to the land registry for a new title to be registered. The registry found that all the paperwork was in order, and soon sent out confirmation of the registration to conclude everything.

The clients were grateful to Dawn for all the work she had done to achieve a quick completion for them. Find equall Proactive Conveyancing with a instant online quote for Conveyancing in Southampton.
