Most buyers of new build residence in Frampton on Severn approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Frampton on Severn typically 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 conveyancers 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.

My wife and I may need to let out our Frampton on Severn 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Frampton on Severn conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Frampton on Severn conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
