As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Brighton what is your top tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Brighton

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Brighton or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer.

I am buying a new build house in Brighton benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Brighton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Brighton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
