Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Stanford Le Hope but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of three thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Principality will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Your property lawyer that is on the Principality approved list is duty bound to disclose to Principality of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Stanford Le Hope.

How does conveyancing in Stanford Le Hope differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stanford Le Hope contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Stanford Le Hope usually 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stanford Le Hope or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Stanford Le Hope I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Stanford Le Hope suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
