How does conveyancing in Princes Risborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Princes Risborough come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Princes Risborough 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 property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I’m about to sell my basement flat in Princes Risborough. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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.

It is important to be aware if redecorating or some other major work is coming up that will be shared between the leasehold owners and may well materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a specific payment. Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the flat. Check with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for a couple of years before you are eligible to extend the lease. Can you tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will increase the service costs?
