How does conveyancing in Spalding differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Spalding come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Spalding typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Spalding or who has acted in the same development.
I was recommended by a few selling agents in Spalding to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Spalding
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Spalding conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
I’m about to sell my basement flat in Spalding. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.

You should be aware that where the lease has less than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for 24 months in order to be legally able to extend the lease. Does the lease have more than 90 years left? How much is the ground rent and service charge?
