How does conveyancing in Porthleven differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Porthleven come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Porthleven tend to acquire 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 Porthleven or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Porthleven. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal as all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be included within service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Porthleven obliged tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Please tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will likely add a premium to the service fees?
