How does conveyancing in Ilkley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ilkley come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Ilkley 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ilkley or who has acted in the same development.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Ilkley
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Ilkley conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Ilkley conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Ilkley conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you make enquires with several firms including non Ilkley conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:
-
What volume of lease extensions has the firm completed in Ilkley in the last year? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?
