I am buying a new build flat in Exminster. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Exminster
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Exminster
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Exminster conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Exminster from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Exminster can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. A minority of Exminster leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Exminster home move. If a duplicate share is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Exminster leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. If you dont have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
