How does conveyancing in Raynes Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Raynes Park approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Raynes Park tend to acquire the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Raynes Park or who has acted in the same development.

Back In 2000, I bought a leasehold flat in Raynes Park. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Raynes Park who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
