How does conveyancing in Wootton Bridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wootton Bridge approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Wootton Bridge tend to 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 Wootton Bridge or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Wootton Bridge I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wootton Bridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. 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 at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My partner and I have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Friday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will have to pay out an extra fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have asked Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You should ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to identify a property lawyer in Wootton Bridge on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
