How does conveyancing in Mapperley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Mapperley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Mapperley typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mapperley or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I may need to let out our Mapperley ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Mapperley conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
The lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Mapperley do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.

Is there a share of the freehold? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? You should be aware that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension.
