Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Audlem is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Audlem and Cheshire usually necessitates more hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, procuring up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Audlem concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Audlem differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Audlem approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Audlem typically buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Audlem or who has acted in the same development.
