How does conveyancing in Bury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bury come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Bury tend to purchase the site, 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 Bury or who has acted in the same development.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Bury
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Bury conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Bury which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Bury is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the property. The majority of buyers and mortgage companies, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Bury conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
