How does conveyancing in Mile End differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Mile End contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Mile End typically acquire the land, 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 Mile End or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mile End prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not issue a loan on this type of house.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Mile End where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Mile End conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

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 purchaser.

I inherited a first floor flat in Mile End. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?
