How does conveyancing in Chinnor differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Chinnor contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Chinnor usually buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chinnor or who has acted in the same development.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Chinnor

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Chinnor conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.

I am intending to let out my leasehold flat in Chinnor. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Notwithstanding that your previous Chinnor conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I own a ground floor flat in Chinnor, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Chinnor with a long lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2078

With only 52 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £29,500 and £34,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
