I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Coleford to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
In the event that the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Coleford conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Coleford conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being held up by an average of three weeks. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all Coleford conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Coleford what are the most common lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Coleford. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the premises
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, The Mortgage Works, and Bank of Ireland all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.

-
Does the lease contain onerous restrictions? Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge liability? You should be aware if it is no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease.
I’m about to sell my basement flat in Coleford.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
