Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gunnislake

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Gunnislake costs more?

The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Gunnislake is frequently greater as compared to a freehold property. This is due to the additional investigations required in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to obtain information about whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

How does conveyancing in Gunnislake differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Gunnislake come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Gunnislake typically 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gunnislake or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Gunnislake is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Gunnislake are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gunnislake you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gunnislake may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
