Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tickton

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Tickton. The vast majority the flats have already been sold. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Tickton?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Tickton conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Tickton.

How does conveyancing in Tickton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Tickton contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Tickton usually buy 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 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 Tickton or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Tickton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Tickton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

What does commercial conveyancing in Tickton cover?

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Tickton with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Tickton can be avoided where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives.
  • If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over rather than unsettled. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy formality and slows down many a Tickton home move. If a reissued share certificate is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible. Some Tickton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Tickton - Sample of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing

    Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that will increase the maintenance charges? Please note that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Ticktonlease extensions you will be required to have owned the property for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Be sure to investigate if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example some leases prohibit pets being permitted in in a block in Tickton. If you like the propertyin Tickton but your dog is not allowed to make the move with you then you have a very difficult determination.
