How does conveyancing in Norton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Norton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Norton tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Norton or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Norton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Norton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Norton - Sample of Queries Prior to buying

    What is the name of the managing agents? You should want to discover as much as possible regarding the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily matters like the upkeep of the communal areas. You should not be shy to ask other tenants what they think of their service. In conclusion, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending that money. The answer will be important as a) areas can cause problems in the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate where services remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the managing agents you will wish to have complete disclosure
