How does conveyancing in Surrey Quays differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Surrey Quays approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Surrey Quays usually 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 conveyancers 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 Surrey Quays or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Surrey Quays I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Surrey Quays suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Myself and my partner have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Monday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to selecting a lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to locate a solicitor in Surrey Quays on the panel for the Post Office.
