House Sales and Purchases

Freehold Transactions can seem more straightforward than other conveyancing areas. However, at times there are complications that require experienced lawyers who know exactly what to look for and address any issues.

Freehold properties.

Hayward Moon sits on most lender panels, which means we can act for both you and your lender saving you time and money.

New Builds. The legal process for purchasing a new build property is different to other purchases. For example, when you pay your reservation fee, you may be asked to commit to a strict timeframe to exchange contracts. Our experienced lawyers understand the process, we are used to dealing with different types of developers, making sure we meet expectations and making the process as smooth as possible.

Part exchange. Some Developers may offer to purchase your home in exchange for you purchasing one of their new build properties. This can take away the uncertainty of finding a buyer. Our lawyers have experience dealing with most major Developers that offer part exchange.

Estates with a management company. Over the years more new build estates have private amenity areas that are managed by a Management Company. The residents are responsible for maintaining the amenity areas. During the conveyancing process the seller will provide documentation to include company documentation, accounts, service charge expenditure, budgets and payment history. Our team of specialists are able to advise you on the legal implications and also provide practical advice too.

Listed Buildings. Purchasing a historical building provides you with the privilege of living in a remarkable building but with this privilege comes responsibility of protecting the building for future generations. We will check to see if any work has been carried out and ensure there is listing buildings consent. We understand what is required with listed buildings and the planning process, giving you peace of mind when you purchase.

Properties in a conservation area. Aside from getting to know the area you are purchasing, if your property is in a conservation area there will be legal considerations. Our lawyers will check whether you are purchasing in a conservation area and advise you on the restrictions in place.
