You should be aware if it is no more than 80 years it will affect the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension. How many years are left on the lease? Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that will likely add a premium to the service charges?
We have been told by many estate agents to expect up to two months for Appleton conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only sent to my conveyancer last week so now does it countdown?
You need to be pragmatic concerning timing. Property transactions in Appleton usually takes about two months. This timeframe is not because conveyancing practitioner are slow and willfully delay matters. The amount of money involved in purchasing any property is so high, the purchaser's solicitor having to carry out a whole range of enquiries, searches and further checks to protect the buyer and their mortgage company (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. These checks involves obtaining information from various third parties, for example other property lawyer, local councils, private companies, lenders. Many of these are well organised. Plenty aren't. And remember, no matter how quickly your property lawyer do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
