How does conveyancing in Hilsea differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hilsea approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Hilsea usually acquire 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 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 Hilsea or who has acted in the same development.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Hilsea where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Hilsea conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Hilsea - A selection of Questions you should ask before buying

    Does the lease have onerous restrictions? You will want to discover as much as you can about the managing agents as they can either make living at the property much easier or much more difficult. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily issues like the upkeep of the common parts. Ask prospective neighbours what they think of their management. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the service charges are due to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending the funds. Please note if it is less than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most Hilsealease extensions you would be required to have owned the residence for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
