Now that you have legally bound yourself to purchase you must retain a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Leyton accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Leyton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Leyton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market.

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

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Leyton both have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Leyton is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Leyton conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
