How does conveyancing in Walthamstow Village differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Walthamstow Village 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 Walthamstow Village usually 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 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 Walthamstow Village or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Walthamstow Village I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Walthamstow Village for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a property in Swansea but I am based in Walthamstow Village. My lawyer (based 235 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising.

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Walthamstow Village based
I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Walthamstow Village. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to decide the price payable.

My step-father purchased his flat in Walthamstow Village ten years ago. He has since got married, widowed and has recently remarried. He will be selling the flat this June. I believe he will just be asked to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the property lawyer but he is worried it will hold up the home move. Should he instruct a solicitor to update the Land Registry details for the house?
The is no need to bring up to date the register on the basis that you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should check the title entries and requisition evidence by way of proof of the name change for instance marriage documentation.
