How does conveyancing in Fairlop differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Fairlop approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Fairlop tend to acquire 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 Fairlop or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Fairlop with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fairlop can be avoided where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Fairlop state that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. If you fail to have the paperwork in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved. Some Fairlop leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual 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 are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Fairlop home move. If a new share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible.
