It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in East Beckton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in East Beckton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in East Beckton contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in East Beckton tend to acquire the land, 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 East Beckton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in East Beckton I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Beckton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
We have had DIP from Coventry Building Society who said that they will loan up to £117k. When do we need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? East Beckton is where we are purchasing.
You can appoint a lawyer now so that the solicitor can open the file so they can commence their AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work they will seek a deposit normally about £175.
