Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Helsby is more expensive?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Helsby and Cheshire usually necessitates extra work compared to freehold transactions. This includes analysing the lease terms, liaising with the landlord about serving required notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.

I am selling my home in Helsby. Will my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

How does conveyancing in Helsby differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Helsby 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 house builders in Helsby tend to buy the real estate, 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Helsby or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Helsby prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend not give a mortgage on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Helsby. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Helsby to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
