How does conveyancing in Shaw differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Shaw come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Shaw 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Shaw or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Shaw I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shaw suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Shaw and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to affords protection to business tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Shaw is one of the hundreds of locations in which the firms we work with are based

We would recommend that you call a few local Shaw conveyancing solicitors seeking estimates. It is advisable to base your decision not only on cost, but on promptness and on how comprehensive the reply is.
