How does conveyancing in Knightsbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Knightsbridge approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Knightsbridge tend to purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Knightsbridge or who has acted in the same development.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Knightsbridge. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Knightsbridge - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can I apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Knightsbridge conveyancing firm to represent me?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to decide the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Knightsbridge flat is Flat 3 47 Cadogan Square in December 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable to the landord by the leaseholder for the lease extension was £732,935 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 13.33 years.
Please set a few of compelling benefits to instructing a local conveyancing practitioner in Knightsbridge
Plenty of house movers in Knightsbridge decide on using a local conveyancer so that they can visit in the event that they have questions, and to collect documents without using the Royal Mail.
Some would say that there is a distinct advantage when using a solicitor local to the premises you are hoping to purchase, due to the in-depth knowledge of the area and potential local concerns - however this is moot. Most conveyancers carry out their work online and could be based anywhere.
