How does conveyancing in Branston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Branston come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Branston typically 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Branston or who has acted in the same development.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Branston. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Branston who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Branston conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders have being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Its a good idea to find out as much as you can regarding the company managing the building as they will either make life much easier or much more difficult. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues like the tidiness of the common parts.
