How does conveyancing in Herefordshire differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Herefordshire contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Herefordshire usually acquire the land, 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 Herefordshire or who has acted in the same development.
What are the common problems that you witness in leases for Herefordshire properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Herefordshire is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the building A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Skipton Building Society, and Aldermore all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
