My friend recommended that if I am buying in Woodbury I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

How does conveyancing in Woodbury differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Woodbury come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Woodbury 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 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Woodbury or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Woodbury I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Woodbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated 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 commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Woodbury. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A lawyer would need to be really poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new lawyer and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid added charges and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers. The search tool will assist you in finding a bank approved lawyer for your home move in Woodbury
