Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Presteigne costs more?

Presteigne leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I am buying a new build house in Presteigne with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Presteigne I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Presteigne in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Presteigne I wish to talk to a solicitor about myhouse move ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Presteigne.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Presteigne should be the figure that you are charged.
