Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Gosport is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold property in Gosport is often more expensive than on a freehold transaction. This is due to the additional investigations required in dealing with the freeholder and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
I bought my flat on 10 June and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Gosport advises it will be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Gosport particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Gosport registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties.

Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Gosport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Gosport come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Gosport usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Gosport or who has acted in the same development.
