Most buyers of new build property in Stanford Le Hope approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Stanford Le Hope tend to 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. 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.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Stanford Le Hope. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Stanford Le Hope - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title.
